They always let me extend after after 12 months -- I've always got a new phone after a year on most of my lines... this is before the iPhone came out.
Got a tip for us?

Well, its 12 months for me, I buy a phone every fathers day for my father and its the subsidized price every single year at the same time. (Not an iPhone)
A new SIM card will be in the iPhone 3G S. All you'll need to do is activate through iTunes + restore to get data/contacts back.
You are both correct. The key is that it varies by individual line. Some will be eligible every 12 months and others in the 18-21 month range.
It is based on many factors but the easiest one is the MRC, so if you are on a FamilyTalk plan and you have the add-a-line at $9.99 you will get a much longer contract window before you are "Upgrade Eligible" for that full handset discount.

so does new sim card means new phone number also or do i get to keep my original number on my 3G?
if its being delivered on the 19th, then ATT should use the ship date compared against your contract date.
