Are you eligible for upgrade come summer?

You should ask them about that. For Rogers I know they will drop a year. So upgrades every two years on a three year contract. I'd be surprised if Telus didn't drop a year also. I know Bell does as well.
June 16 2011. One year and a day after I preordered the iPhone 4. I love getting the upgrade every year.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely try. Hopefully they let you re-negotiate the contract so that any freebies don't expire.
I've been able to upgrade every year until this year, for whatever reason (same plan I've always been on)...right now, I'm not eligible to upgrade until Feb. 2012. Hoping for a bump to fall, maybe. I've also been talking with various people at AT&T about the ridiculously abysmal service here lately (minimum of 2 dropped calls per day) and about how the rest of my family is debating switching to Verizon when they move down here after seeing how horrible my service has been. Sorta kinda hoping they might offer an upgrade-eligibility bump as incentive to stay (we've been customers since 1993, for pity's sake. Ugh.)
>Update: Japanese blog Macotakara reports that the fifth-generation iPhone will "probably" not ship until 2012 based on the current status of part production.
According to Chinese source, iPhone 5 will not probablly be shipped during 2011 because the parts manufacturing for iPhone 5 are not started.
>The site had previously offered relatively accurate information about the iPad 2. The site also reported earlier this month that the fifth-generation iPhone will adopt an aluminum back and a redesigned antenna.
>Update 2: Macotakara has clarified its original report to note that the fifth-generation iPhone is apparently not set to ship before the end of Apple's fiscal 2011, which occurs in late September 2011.
>Update 3: All Things Digital and Engadget are hearing similar claims that there will be no fifth-generation iPhone introduction at WWDC 2011.
I still have iPhone 3GS. I have been expecting iPhone 5 be released in June or July 2011. My 2 year contract is due to be expired on June 29, 2011, although I am eligible for an upgrade to iPhone 4 now.
Now the announcements above say that iPhone 5 will be released in September and shipped in early 2012. I am frustrated again.
Why would Apple be happy to postpone releasing and shipping to later dates? If Apple announces any release, they must be honest to tell truth in making their business good and success what they say and must not delay anything, but the releases of IOS and hardware must be on time to make their business good and success as what they would announce earlier.
Would Apple be happy to see people getting frustrated and angry and be happy to watch people to flock to PC Windows desktops and laptops, and other cell phones? If so, that's SO SAD!!
I don't know if my 2 year contract with AT&T to be expired in June 29th this year that would be continued or not because of iPhone 5 delaying to Sept or early 2012. I don't want iPhone 4 due to the antenna problem. Must I wait until then? If I am advised to go ahead to upgrade to iPhone 4, I don't want AT&T would require me to sign up for another 2 years which means I can't upgrade to iPhone 5 until Feb. 2013.
