The funny thing is that my FULL PRICE $299 iPhone actually pushed me over into the silver status.
You mean your subsidized price, Full Price would be $499 for a 16gb... We get the point though, and it is pretty ironic.

Now, what if I take my clean, nice, lightly used 8GB Gen 1 iPhone and want to exchange/upgrade to the 3G model. I would like the faster speed, but I've been told to "stick it" -- that I am in a plan and I can't upgrade.
I mean, shouldn't we be able to trade in/upgrade these phones for a significant discount? I have the 8GB model, to scratches, original box, dock, all the cables, everything.
Let's a $50 = $75 upgrade to the new model? That would be fair. I just want the faster 3G speed and I am stuck on EDGE, I bought this a week before the 3G came out. :-\
I went ahead and got this deal at Best Buy earlier today. I want to clarify that even though you get $50 off at regular Rewards member price....you end up paying tax of the regular MSRP price. So you are paying the tax of it as if you were paying $600 (I think). It came out to $54 tax and about $205 so in the end you only really save 12 bucks than if you bought it anywhere else full price. (In this case the 8GB model)
Very tricky. Although I needed a new phone cause my old 2G's screen cracked yesterday, I just wanna point that out to everyone. Your paying full price tax on discounted item.
My AT&T plan expires this week.
So I am serisouly considering getting an iPhone this week.
But my only question is: when are the new iPhones coming out?
Is it worth waiting and passing up this good deal at Best Buy?

I can't find that info in any fine print. Is it possible it has to do with your state's tax policy?
You actually might be right. If someone in another state can confirm if this is the case for them as well that would be nice. I'm actually having 2nd thoughts and I might just return it and grab a refurbished one fom AT&T since I planned on grabbing whatever new iPhone (if any) comes out this summer. Just needed a damn replacement asap!
You think anyone here knows that?
Great. $50-$100 off a $2000+ contract. Nice try, Best Buy. Consumers may be fooled, but I'm not. That's between a 2.5%-5% discount, or near inconsequential.
Would this suggest they are shifting the remainder of the current model to make way for the new?

I work for Best Buy Mobile and I can tell you that this is just strictly a promotion to get our good customers into Best Buy and counteract any other promotions on other smart phones by other dealers. The current 3g iphone is still in stock and is not at its end of life yet.
It is the best deal yet and we were selling so many that a lot of the computers systems were down because of the activations on att's end.
To check if you qualify for the premier reward zone login to your account or go into a best buy store and have them check for you!
What does your current cell phone contract cost you?
I pay about $30 per year, total cost. It's a pre-paid phone and the minutes don't expire. I average about $30 per year. over the last 5 or so years.
What does your current cell phone contract cost you?
What does it matter? Its not like BB is charging more for the service. If you are going to buy an iphone anyway (like I am) a 100 dollars off is a 100 dollars off. Your logic doesn't make any sense. Are you saying you would rather pay full price because this "minor" discount is just an insult?

So you really don't need an iPhone; ergo, you don't really have anything productive to say on this thread do you?
It's not such a great deal considering the iPhone 3G is at the end of it's product cycle. They're trying to clear'em out people!
1. NOBODY needs an iphone. Plain as simple.
2. Why should somebody who is not on the telly every minute shouldn't have an iphone? where does it say "the iphone, perfect for everyone who talks much on the phone!" ?
3. I hope that you love the iphone because it can do a lot more than just beeing a phone. If not, you seem to be the one who hasn't anything producitve so say on this thread?
Is there a need to elaborate this?![]()
I'm on my parents' plan, so about $10 a month extra. $20 if you distribute it across all phones.
All I'm saying is that the sale is inconsequential. I'm not saying it's BAD. I'm simply saying its benefit is effectively zero.
NOBODY needs a computer, so go throw yours away!
ah i see you let your children answer for you, good one!
