Yes, it's another one of "those" threads. However, I feel this will be quite useful to people like myself who have an upgrade date of 2/20/2011. Has anybodys changed that had a previous date which fell AFTER november? Thanks!
 
mine still says the same date in feb. if i can sell my 3gs for about 400 the difference in cost will not be that great if i decide to get the new one.
 
Mine still says Jan, 30 2011 but eligible for early iphone upgrade...so im paying 399? or adding a line
 
SWEET! A december? Comon Jans and Febs... I know your out there! :D

$399 for 16GB if prices/models remain the same.
 
it seems like maybe they are moving it up 6 months. most in 2010 seem to he moving up but I havent heard of anyone from any 2011 dates being moved up yet (including me). :(
 
I am getting so confused with this.

Right now I have an LG Neon and I've never had an iPhone but I plan on upgrading to the iPhone 4G so I dialed *639# and I got this (I have an overdue bill btw): "Due to past due balance, and other reasons, an upgrade is not available. Payment will make full retail pricing available for all headsets except iPhone. After payment, we can offer you an early iPhone upgrade with a new 2-yr commitment and an $18 upgrade fee at a participating iPhone sales location. Additional discounts for all other headsets may be available on 12/27/2010." Now this sounds like after I pay my overdue bill, I can upgrade to an iPhone now for the discounted price but for any other phone I have to wait until 12/27.

On the other hand, if I go online and check my upgrade options for iPhone I get this: "You currently have a past due balance. Payment of the past due balance will qualify you to upgrade today at a higher price than what we can offer you on the date listed below with a new 2-year commitment and an $18 upgrade fee. Use Online Account Manager to check and pay your balance now. You may qualify for a full discount on a standard iPhone upgrade on 12/27/2010." This is saying that I can't get the discounted price until 12/27.

Which one is right?
 
Mine still says "You may select equipment at our full retail pricing. An upgrade may be available on 02/22/2011"

I upgraded to the 3GS when it came out last year but had to pay the early upgrade price.
 
Just read this in another thread.

They are saying the same thing, just different words. You can purchase an iPhone (after you pay your bill) for the early upgrade price that is higher than the full upgrade price. This is for all phones basically. They just want to highlight the iPhone as well as marking it in a different note due to people probably getting confused.

However, on December 27th is the day that you can purchase any phone for a full discount. Basically, buy now and pay more.

Same here. I don't expect anything to change for me.
 
My upgrade date was December 20 up until today. I was quite surprised! Paid the early upgrade for my 3GS shortly after it was released last year. I seriously just checked yesterday and again today and it was changed! I see a new iPhone in my immediate future.
 
well mine said on Friday 12/11/10
now there is no date and it says i'm eligible

how weird but hey i will take it

Ok. Thank you for clearing that up for me. :)
 
Sounds like I missed the boat by two weeks. I'm guessing they're going to bump up anyone who purchased in June or July, but not those of us who purchased in August.
