So I went out and bought a gen1 for cheap.

Ahhhh okay, got it. Thats actually pretty smart

So im not really sure why its not working online. When i called they told me everything should be working fine.

A question - did the lady happy to say what will happen when you try to activate an iPhone 2G after July 11. I have an old iPhone now that has no service and had planned on activating it next January, when my Sprint contract expires. But I keep hearing that when I do that I will have to pay $30 rate even though it only works with Edge.

AT&T and Apple still have alot of questions to answer when it comes to activation of the Gen 1s.

is re-activation the same thing as activation? What I mean is will i have a problem restoring and re-activating my 1st gen phone, (like I have done a million times), once the 3g comes out? I wouldnt think so but now you guys have me confused....

The latest info (rumor) I have seen indicated that the V1 data plan was to stay in place for now. The way it was worded could be taken as at some point the V1 data plan could be scrapped. Don't know if this means we would have to pay $30, but it did leave itself open to possible deletion of the current V1 data plan.

I read that there will still be the cheaper data plan for 2G phones. Don't ask we where, because I do not remember.

Nobody really knows how they'll have new activations of first gen iphones after 7/11. All we know so far, is that first gen users with active iphone data plans won't see any increase to the 3G prices.
