Just got off the phone with my at&t rep and he gave me some details about upgrading to the new iPhone...
1. Stores open 7am on the 18th for pre-orders
2. Many lines are eligible for something called a "secure upgrade" which basically means that even though an upgrade isn't technically available for your line, you could pay $75 and get the $199/$299 price point
3. There is another option for certain lines called an "early iphone upgrade" which gives certain customers the $399/$499 price point
Now I'm not sure what makes different customers eligible for what but he said my line was eligible for both secure and early upgrades. I figure I'll pay the $75 and $299 for the 32GB iPhone 3GS. $375 is a lot better than $499! Just thought I'd pass along the info.
