Well I don't know but I am getting mine for $199 and I started with ATT in December!

cricky101 · 06-23-2010, 09:20 AM

I just checked and I'm eligible for the $199 upgrade too. Didn't think I would be. I wasn't going to upgrade, but am considering it now. Maybe have to research what I can sell my 3gs for ... Hmmm....

A little off topic but I think it warrants discussion. Has anyone given any thought to the new data plans for the iPhone, i.e. 200MB, 2GB, Unlimited?

My max usage is 254.47MB so I will obviously downgrade to the 2GB. It's only $5 difference but every little bit helps. My wife has a max usage of 157.71MB so I would be tempted to downgrade hers to the 200MB and save $15.

The only issue I would forsee is that the unlimited data will never be offered again. Once you downgrade, it's gone. I am keeping my unlimited, I can always change it later.

Very good point.

True, but you have no idea if you will be able to keep the unlimited plan on your next upgrade or if AT&T will keep the iPhone... never know.

Agree.

Tony, given you have an AT&T in, do you know if I can keep that unlimited data if added to a new line, to my existing account?
May get one for the wife once things calm down a bit.
I have a foundation/corporate linked account that gives me a discount via my company and basically treats us well as result.
I would hope they would allow me to add a line and keep that old plan with it.

I don't know Carlos, I thought it was only available to anyone/line that had it previously.

I can't get my bluetooth earpiece to come up!!!

rack04 · 06-23-2010, 10:29 AM

I can't even fathom what I would have to do to use more than 2GB of data usage a month.

I've had this particular 3g (I've gone through several in the last two years, I was a lineman not a reciever) for about 4 months and between incoming and outgoing I've got just over 8.2GB. I must be in that 2% that the new system wouldn't cover.

Are you getting that from your phone?
I checked the AT&T site and I've only gone over 500mb once in the last year and 4 months. I haven't looked at my phone stats.

Sounds like my dad when I was about 12..."What would anyone ever need a GB of storage on a computer for..."

2gb of data in a month is nothing today - streaming video (Hulu, Netflix), high resolution images, streaming music (Pandora), and the list goes on.

So, who is packing a midnight snack and heading out to stand in line prior to the 7 a.m. opening?

I'm going to go up to the roof of the building where the apple store is with a few boxes of android advertising leaflets and drop them on the line.

I might even toss in a bunch of 8x10 glossies of Bill Gates too.

If there was any way to get my hands on a mockup of the 4G, I'd drop one and record the chaos and submit it to a video contest.

Good.
I hate those things.

Sorry, couldn't help it.
Besides, I am jealous.

Actualy I have a question, does the 3G not get the camera zoom? Or was my phone just selective about what it decided restore (like my mobile stogie)

The 3G has very few of the changes that came with new download.
I am in the same boat as you.
