I am an existing ATT customer (without the iPhone) and I purchased the iPhone 3GS through the Apple Online Store. Given your situation, you could have purchased it from the apple store as well; it asks you whether you are a new or existing customer and if you want to upgrade a phone etc. If you ordered from the apple online store, you would most likely get it at your front door the day the phone is released. Sorry!]]>Jun 15th 2009 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 16th 2009 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Im in the UK and will be getting my iPhone 3G S shipped to me from Carphone Warehouse on Launch.]]>Jun 15th 2009 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/

I chose never to participate in a recession. If I get laid off, I'll find something else to do.]]>Jun 15th 2009 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/
As someone who was laid off in March (in probably the worst economy in all of our lifetimes) and just now finally found an acceptable part-time/contract position in my field, I'd like to give a hearty "Fuck You" to your idiotic comment. In this economy, when you are laid off it is not so simple as to say "I'll find something else to do." Nobody is hiring right now unless your qualifications match *exactly* with what they are looking for. Gone are the days when you could get a job just because you are smart and motivated, and companies were willing to take months to train you.

Idiotic comments like this show a complete lack of understanding of what is really going on out there. So, I repeat again. "Fuck you."]]>Jun 15th 2009 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/"It's only a recession to those that lose their jobs, or are looking for work"

Or to those who are used to getting a raise every year, or a bonus, or overtime, or at least not getting their pay reduced due to lack of work coming into their profession, or pay more for health insurance, groceries, fuel a car, pay taxes, eat, live like they were only a few years ago...

Let me guess - you live with your parents, right?]]>Jun 15th 2009 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/
The 3GS is actually finally integrating some features people want. Now Apple has expanded their customer base.

Very interested to see if they have enough stock for the demand though.]]>Jun 15th 2009 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/
I saw it last year with the Instinct, and this year with the Pre. The forums fill up with people threatening to cancel their contracts if they don't get the "new customer" pricing.

For those Apple folks that got the "special upgrade pricing" last year... HELLO!!! YOU PAID FULL PRICE FOR THE DAMN PHONE WHEN IT WAS FIRST LAUNCHED!!! Of course you were eligible for subsidized pricing! Apple and AT&T weren't cutting you break. Now that you are only 1 year into your 2 year deal, you don't qualify for special pricing because you are still paying for last years phone.

Welcome to the wonderful world of cell phone contracts.

BTW, those that are having to pay full price because of their contract will be eligible for the subsidized price next year.

But yes, those new customers getting the subsidized price now will most definitely be yelling next year about how AT&T doesn't value their customers when they find out they'll have to pay full price for the new iPhone with pull out scissors and bottle opener.]]>Jun 15th 2009 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/Jun 15th 2009 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/15/iphone-3g-s-pre-orders-start-shipping-reservations-estimated-in/

A faster processor? is it needed? faster 3g? Not many telcos can handle that speed (in the UK at least), anyhow. Better cam? Still not a major upgrade. So, what's so major about the upgrade?
