Brilliant, thanks for the info. I might finally take the plunge and jailbreak

That's a good point that you raise here. I typically don't listen to the radio that often, if ever. But, with AT&T I do believe it's a 'gentleman's agreement' about the unlimited data. Maybe confirm with them when you go to buy your iPhone; you know you want one now

if anything i would check here before you update your itunes. people will test it and mention if it has effected their jailbreak at all. i havent seen anyone say it has yet.

OK thanks for the info on the blakra1n krunk .
And, it turns out that (I logged onto ATT's site) I would have to pay $399. I may look around eBay for a while and see if anything pops up.
The only concern I have now is that I have one person saying that there is a 5GB/month cap and another saying that it's truly unlimited. Any more light on that? Or should I just call them up and ask as you suggested?

i think ive seen the 5gb cap somewhere. i thought it was about that, but i wasnt 100% sure. i cannot imagine using 5gb though.

another thing to think about is maybe getting a 3g for the time being i believe upgrades come at 18 months, so you will be hitting 18 months just after the next generation iphone comes out next year. then you would be able to get that phone for $199. 3g is going to be much less to buy from someone on craigslist if you find the right deal.

I use the ESPNRadio app for about an hour per day 5 days a week and I don't go over.

Juls, aren't you selling your 3g? I'm selling mine too.

Hmmm...what a coincidence. I am selling mine too. I wonder what price he is looking for?

[eradicator2010]

He as in me
I really don't mind forking over $399 to ATT for the newest one. Then, according to what Julia said, I could upgrade next year (plus a few months..like Jan 2011) for $200 to whatever is next. I'm thinking about just going straight for the goods . I'm also buying a laptop and I can make up for this more expensive phone upgrade by saying NO to the Blu-Ray on it
