I agree this feels like the decennial rebirth of the dumb terminal. Everyone that tries this gets to eat a big ol' bag of shit when they try to sell it.

Gimme

Gimme.

That worked for me anyway.

I was in the same boat. I sold my iPhone about a month ago in anticipation of the new one coming out and started using my old Blackjack. Up until today the "can I upgrade my phone" thing in my account status said I could not upgrade. Lo and behold, today it says I *am* eligible for an upgrade (because I still have the iPhone plan on my account.)

Check your account, there's a good chance you will get the upgrade price even though you don't currently have the iPhone.

No dumbass, you don't have to return the phone if you cancel and pay the ETF. Goddamn there's some stupid shits around here.

Here's some news for you: The world doesn't owe you shit. If you don't like the terms, don't buy it. But for fuck's sake, stop whining about it.

>Meanwile, I doubt you have a brain since you can't spell "hostle".

Neither can you, dumbass. In addition, you can't spell "meanwhile" either. Nothing is funnier than one shithead who can't spell calling some other shithead who can't spell on the carpet for it.

Here's another what if (that happens to be my situation):

I bought a Tilt in January 2008 (upgrading from a Blackjack I had for over a year). I absolutely hated it, so after some debate I bought an iPhone in March 2008 thinking the 3g iPhone was at least 6-8 months away.

In late May, sensing that the 3g iPhone was just around the corner, I sold my iPhone on Craigslist for nearly what I paid for it and fell back to my Blackjack. I just put the iPhone SIM into the Blackjack and it worked.

I'm still on the iPhone contract, but using a non-iphone. When it comes time to upgrade, do I still qualify as an "iPhone 1.0 customer" even though I no longer have the phone? Will buying the subsidized Tilt screw me out of an iPhone entirely or will I just have to pay more?

I don't think you get it. You don't walk out of the store with an unactivated iPhone unless you steal it. That's the whole point of the article. You walk in and say, "I want an iPhone." The clerk says, "Great, let me activate that for you. Do you already have an account or will this be a new account?" You don't get to touch the phone until it's activated.
