Prediction of 2.3 firmware.

[psylichon]

I'm just a little worried because my current contract runs out in May but I don't want to get another 18 month contract with my 2g again or a 3G because knowing my luck, about 4 months into my contract I bet the new iPhone...iPhone 3.0 will come out UNLESS it's in an update which I highly doubt as I don't think you can fix battery life, upgraded camera, video etc through an update. Does anyone believe we will get the new iPhone this year???

You don't have to sign a new 2-year agreement when yours runs out. You only have to do that when buying a subsidized phone. You will have met your contract obligations in May and will continue as normal, only you are now eligible for another subsidized phone should you chose. But you can do that at any point.

I would wait until May and enjoy discount pricing on the new iPhone

Ohhh.... K.

Oh, I've never had a contract before so no idea how it works. Are you saying that once my contract runs I will still be paying my monthly charge but can quit at any time and also when I upgrade to the new iPhone it will be cheaper than if I didn't have a contract or will I have to pay more for the phone or what?

You will continue on the same monthly charge, but can quit at any time.

You can also get a new iPhone (or any other phone) at the normal subsidized price, but that will require you to sign a new contract.

Final point is, you will be able to buy thr new Iphone when it comes out, or any other phone yoi would like, at a subsidized price bilut with a renewed contract...

Hopefully the new Iphone you will buy(if) , will carry the 3.0, because 2.3 probably wont exist...

Will the next update (only if it has new hardware) will have a different price on contract? Or monthly bill??? What do you think att will try now?
