It's absolutely incredible what this phone does. If someone said 10 years ago a phone would do these this stuff, I'd have looked at them like they were crazy.
Scott,
I will be in Long Island on 6/15 when you can pre-order.
I found an Apple store about 20 minutes from my hotel.
I give you one guess where I will be found after work hours are done that day.:D
Hopefully I can order it there to pick up in my local Florida store on the 24th.
I thought of online ordering but heck if I will wait for it to be shipped.

I'm looking at my account and this is all I see for both of our lines when I click the Upgrade link:

Quote:
As a valued AT&T customer, you may be eligible for a standard upgrade on this line, with reduced equipment pricing when signing a 2-year commitment. Click 'Upgrade Eligibility' to view your upgrade options.
When I click, it shows a 32GB 3GS for $199. (As well os others.)
My contract doesn't expire until 2/2011 (we signed up 2/2009), but my plan is $99/mo. Or at least was until they dropped prices.

If your contract is up in 2/2011, chances are you can upgrade in 2010 as they usually allow that about three months before the contract expires.
Go to your AT&T account and take note of when they allow you to upgrade.
If it is in 2010, you are in. Anyone with an upgrade available in 2010 will be able to get this new iPhone.

just announced.

AT&T is going to make an incredibly generous upgrade offer. If your contract expires at any time in 2010, you can upgrade to the iPhone 4. You can get it up to six months early."

Me neither. I am due for an upgrade 8/2010 but I cannot find any reference to the iPhone 4 upgrade when I search my AT&T account...

I searched too but not fearing as they announced it to the world on TV, in the news.
Not one newscast I saw on the intro of the new phone that did not state at the end that AT&T was allowing anyone up for an upgrade any time this year to buy this new one.

From one release:
If you're an AT&T customer, go to the AT&T wireless site, login, and click on "Check Upgrade Options" to see for yourself. If you bought the iPhone last June on the cheapest plan with AT&T, you can now get the subsidized price on the new one Steve Jobs will announce today

I should have about $12.50 saved in my piggy bank by next February, will this be enough by that time?

Re: iphone 4 just announced.
 
This should help answer the upgrade question.
This is the online chat I just had with AT&T.
Note that I know for a fact I am not due for an upgrade until October as my contract expires in January.

Please wait for a site operator to respond.

You are now chatting with 'Sahar Guy'

Sahar Guy: Hello Mr. Machin.
you: Hi
Sahar Guy: I will be glad to assist you.
you: BTW, I am referring to the new iPhone 4 to be released.
Sahar Guy: Can you please verify the last four digits of your social security number for security purposes?
you: XXXX
Sahar Guy: Thank you.
Sahar Guy: You are eligible for an upgrade, you will be able to get the new Iphone on 06/24 online or in At&T stores.
you: Thank you. Can you verify for friends, while I recognize each situation is different, what has been announced in the media that anyone eligible for an upgrade any time in 2010 can now get the new iPhone?
Sahar Guy: If you are eligible for an upgrade you can get the phone for $199 or $299, if you want to buy the full without a contract it is $599 to $699, the early upgrade is $399 to $499.
you: If you are eligible now or at any time in 2010? Many channels locally were stating when iPhone announced that if as an example, have an upgrade in November of this year, AT&T is allowing you to get the new iPhone for same cost as new customer with a new contract.
you: Allowing you to get it now when available on 6/24 that is.
Sahar Guy: That is right, on 06/24 you can get the Iphone, you can also preorder the phone on 06/15.
you: Thanks. You have been helpful.

Make sure you guys are renewing not just signing a new contract. Word is they slipped in so very expensive data plan changes...

Not necessarily more expensive, it is just that the unlimited data plan is going away. If I recall correctly, the new data plans are 200Mb for $15/mo and 2G for $25/mo with $10/G overage. I believe that something like 98% of iPhone users don't go over 2G per month.

QUESTION : If I am upgrading from an iPhone to an iPhone 4, will I need to subscribe to one of the new data plans AT&T announced last week, or can I still keep the unlimited plan I had with my previous iPhone?
ANSWER : Siegel If you want to keep the $30 unlimited data plan, you can.

Right, but the new ones may be cheaper for you is what I was trying to get at. And by going away, I meant no one can sign up for it anymore.

Ok, just wanted to clarify that the unlimited plan is not going away completely for prior iphone users who are upgrading.

This upgrade site only lists the 3GS and 3G as upgrade options for me -- no mention of the iPhone 4 (and I am eligible).

I can only assume that if you are eligible for an upgrade to 3GS and/or 3G, that you could also upgrade to iphone 4 once available.:2

Just dial *639# on your current iphone. You will receive a text message back from AT&T with your upgrade eligibility :tu

It says: As a valued customer, we can offer you an upgrade with a new 2-yr commitment and waive the $18 upgrade fee.

Ya, but it's poop. The lowest order of iphone is $49.00 at their site.
I think the $18 deal is for some other phone I don't want. To upgrade my 32gb 3gs to ANOTHER 32gb 3gs, it's $199.00. I can't even get a taste of the 4.0 yet.

The $18 would have been in addition to the price of the phone. It is a fee to "upgrade" the phone.

Is that what you were asking? Basically they are waiving the $18 fee to upgrade the phone.

What it means is this: The $18 is a straight upgrade fee (not related the actual phone model). The iPhone 4 models won't be reflected in the upgrade pricing until pre-orders begin (next week, I believe). So, expect to pay $199/$299 depending on model, and $18 for the upgrade fee.

Upgrade eligibility is what it says it is ... just have to wait for the actual model availability in the system before you can select it.

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night :D

I'm not so sure that's ... um ... even remotely legal. Plus, it's relying on a beta of iTunes, which I would be wary of in a "production" environment. Beta = potential for some serious bugs.

Gold master OS is final release. iTunes beta works fine, and if it doesn't another week will pass and 9.2 release will hit. No big deal to me. I did the same with the 3.x series with iTunes betas.

It's true. Generally, if AT&T is waiving the $18 upgrade fee, you are out of contract now. And yes, if you can upgrade to a 3Gs, you can upgrade to a 4.

Oh, and preorders start tomorrow!
