The upgrade status are probablly not updated seeing how you can not buy the phone yet and it's the only phone allowing the 6 month early upgrade

A Gold Master release of iOS 4 (née iPhone OS) was seeded to developers yesterday. And the next iPhone's software has been surprisingly accommodating to jailbreakers' attempts to crack it wide open.
The current technique was finagled from existing jailbreak software (Pwnagetool, specifically) by msft.guy. On top of this prerelease hack, the iPhone Dev Team is claiming to have an unlock of their own nearly prepped for iOS 4 final, to be released within a month (presumably to coincide with the release of iPhone 4). In other words, come iOS 4's official release, you should be able to jailbreak your handset—or at least your iPhone 3GS. (Nobody's been able to test the exploit on an iPhone 4.
Instructions for trying the current jailbreak, for 3GS only, are available here, but it's probably a bad choice: The final release of the software is set for the end of this month, at which point the jailbreaking process will likely be streamlined (and anointed by the Dev Team), and after which your jailbreak will last longer than a few weeks.

jailbroken already. doubt it'll work on the iphone 4 right away due to the different internals but it's promising.
blah!
Exactly. My buddy wife is due in October for an upgrade and her date hasn't even been rolled back yet. I'm sure as the 24th approaches more people upgrade dates will be rolled back.Originally Posted by southzeztpdot

iPhone Upgrade
As a valued AT&T customer, we can offer you a discounted iPhone upgrade at a higher price, along with a 2-year commitment and an $18 upgrade fee. Please proceed with the online upgrade process for pricing details. You may qualify for a full discount on a standard iPhone upgrade on 11/13/2010
[/td][/tr][/table]
My contract ends Nov 2010. Does that mean I get the 199/299 price? What does it mean by " Discounted Iphone upgrade at a higher price" ?
no, these upgrade dates are correct
the reason why they arent updated to allow you to get a full subsidy is because your contract doesnt end in 2010, when you sign a 2 year contract, after 1 year and 6 months, ATT allows you to get a full subsidy, which is 6 months before your contract ends
this means your upgrade date is in 2010, however your contract ends sometime in 2011
Dammit. Just called AT&T . My upgrade aint untill Nov 2010. She told me I cant get em for 199/299. Instead I pay 299/399. Oh well

hopefully something changes when releases comes

well said, but i have to disagree. Techy people do use or will use the supposedly "useless" features like HDMI and video calling. Sure its not going to be a majority now, but it will slowly sink in like internet, texting, cameras have.Originally Posted by OrenthalJames
Aight let me go ahead be the only unbiased person in this thread.
All this debate about what phone does what, and which phone is better is absolutely USELESS! And you can thank iPhone for that. Since the inception of the iPhone, developers have been goin HARD trying to beat it. Making the cell phone market an exciting and forever re-innovating market. But honestly....ALL these new 'Smartphones' are EXACTLY the same #!%* different toilet. Really all of these phones coming out, do great is a vast area of things. Their cameras are good, the internet is good, the apps are plentiful, and the OS is good. Every phone has its advantages and disadvantages which puts all of these phone at pretty much and equal level.
Really the only difference is what carrier, what plan do you use, and how much does the phone cost? I'm pretty sure that if someone handed you an iPhone 4, or an Evo 4g, or a Nokia N1, etc you all would be pretty satisfied because all those phones are great in their own right.
And lets be honest the MAJORITY of us don't even use half of the features they list on these phones. Get real for once, the only #!%* y'all do on these phones is text, and go on the internet, and occasionally you will play with an app or two. Who gives a ++$! about an HDMI port, and iPhone FaceTime? People are really going to use that? No. It's just a cool thing that people will use for maybe a week and then forget about it. Not to mention the majority of the people on your contact list wont even have a front facing camera. In an era where people are affraid to communicate directly to one another, instead we use texting, facebook, and twitter to talk....do y'all honestly think you are going to use a FaceTime or Quik? The hell outta here with that.![]()
The ONLY thing iPhone wins by miles is Apps and development. When something new is in development ...the iPhone is almost guaranteed to have it. Their app store is dwarfs other cell phone app stores, albeit alot of that stuff in the app store is garbage and a waste of time. And if you are a person like me, who thinks that most of these apps are worthless and they take up your time and money, than apps dont apply to you.
All this back and forth but when it all boils down, people will spend over $200 on a device that you will only use text, internet, and music on.
with that said, hand me a Blackberry Bold with a Bolt browser and I'm set.

Because whether it does this or that or whatever, it's just a sick looking phone that's marketed incredibly well, just like iPods. Yeah there's thousands of other MP3 players out there and some people prefer the Zune and others but when it comes down to it, iPod reigns supreme because it looks pretty, it's easy to use, it's marketed great and anybody can buy it and use it. The iPhone takes its knocks because not everyone can get it because it's not on their carrier and people with bad credit (like me) wouldn't want to switch a carrier just to get it and pay a ridiculous deposit. I've luckily been on AT&T since day one 13 years ago when it was called Pac Bell in my area. So for me the iPhone has always been the winner because it's the best phone on my carrier. Now if I was on Sprint or Verizon or T-Mobile then I'd go with an Evo or Droid or HD2 or whatever was the big dog phone because they all do great stuff. But if I had ultimate choice without any carrier boundaries then I'd always roll with iPhone because of physical design, great ease of use, apps and after market products for it that everybody on the market makes like cases and things like that.
And let's face it if the iPhone wasn't so great then so many people wouldn't always argue how their phone is better than the iPhone. You never hear the discussion of how many phones are better than the Droid, etc. It's always every big phone that comes out and how much better it is than the iPhone. iPhone is always winning for that reason alone.

Oh ok thats awesome then. Yeah I know there's those miscellaneous taxes/charges added onto everything, I was just making sure that only real piece I had to add was data.Originally Posted by NKEAIR
