So wait, if I bought the 3GS on launch day last year I won't be eligible to get the new iPhone4? Thats a load of Crap! Sick of ATT.... Sick of them not having coverage in the City, but yet they have coverage in the rural areas...
Actually that's a good point - if you bought a 3GS in July then your contract expires in 2011. Early adopters will be fine though since their contracts (if 18 months) expire just before end 2010.
Well if you got it in June and it's 18 months then your contract should expire just before the end of December 2010 which means you can upgrade. If you took 24 months then I don't think you can.
Give AT&T a phone or check your account details. It should be on there.
@superbeau I dialed that and it seems I am eligible. I think if this is your first contract with ATT you might not be eligible. I have been a customer with them since the first gen, which might allow for better eligibility.
@superbeau Me too. Been checking online, and it's said 2/2011 up to this morning. After the keynote, called the *639#, and (since I'm a few days late on my bill) it said "Due to past due balance...an upgrade is not available. [snip] After payment, we can offer you an early iPhone upgrade with a new 2-yr commiement and an $18 upgrade fee..."
Not quite sure if "early iPhone upgrade" means I can one for 99/199/299, or if it just means I get the privilege of paying full price. Not much concern, as I'm planning to get a Milestone, or switch to a Droid2 on VZW.
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.

@MarkAnderson Where do I find my contract expiration?
I was an early adopter, I bought it Day one lol. So your saying I will be eligible?

@MarkAnderson pretty sure that all 3GS customers were locked into a 24 month contract, as was I...
@greengiant912
So basically anyone with a 3GS is pretty f**ked then?
Wow. Shit offer from AT&T.
@MarkAnderson
nah, i got my 3GS in July and I'm eligible. All anyone has to to do is dial *639# and they'll get a text letting them know
@superbeau I got my 3GS last year in June and so did my girl, it says I'm eligible.
@superbeau
Sweet. You on an 18 month contract?
