How to upgrade 2g to 3g

I have no clue what the other members are talking about, unless i missed something.
If you bought the first iPhone from AT&T, then you can go to the AT&T / Apple store and upgrade. If you don't have AT&T and want to switch, then it will cost the same. ($200 8GB / $300 16GB)
Price would only be different if you had another AT&T phone in a contract already, or your lost your 3G iPhone.

I have a contract with ATT and the original iphone. I still pay the retail value for the 3g phone?
You'll pay those prices i listed then. You paid full price for the first phone, so you can upgrade to any phone you want, and in this case, the iPhone 3G. Once you get the iPhone 3G though, you can't upgrade to another phone without paying it's full price for another 2 years. Confusing, i know.
I'll be glad to help you out. It really is quite easy.
There's an awesome website that can help you with questions like this and many others. Truth be told, I'm fairly certain that you can find the answer to ANYTHING. It's truly amazing!
Here's the address: www.google.com
When the web page loads up, all you have to do is type "att" and then hit enter. Here's where it gets really cool....it will bring up a link to where you want to go! Click on the first link and it will take you to AT&T's home page.
On the right side of the screen, it will mention the iPhone 3G. Click on the picture and it will take you to a page that tells you everything you need to know for upgrading/purchasing/etc.
I hope this helps!

You know, this is what brings forums down. I can see you're new here so you might be new to "foruming."
The point of a forum is to answer the question, not to tell someone to search for it. It probably crossed their mind already, but they still will post a new thread. If everyone answered "Use the search" for a question, there would be no point in an open forum anymore. If they don't know the answer to their question, it obviously isn't recognized as much. There is only one exception to this rule, and that would be asking about the 1 iPhone speaker.
THERE WILL BE A NEW ONE EVERY JULY. THIS IS HOW THE COMPUTER INDUSTRY WORKS.
Buy now and be happy.
Both.
Having a call issue? That's AT&T.
Need to know where to buy the iPhone? That's AT&T, and also Apple.
Have a contract issue? That's AT&T.
Not sure if you can upgrade? That's AT&T.
Have a weird iPhone bill? That's AT&T.
Asking if 3G is in your area? That's AT&T.
ETC.
Exactly. I completely agree with you. That's why I showed him where he could find an answer to his question...
who cares? you posted in this thread just to whine, when you could have helped the person. or you could have just ignored it. but you would rather come in and whine that they didnt use google. why does it bother you so much? just dont reply, and its no skin off your back.
As an original iphone owner, I disagree. The differences between the two are small - 3G, GPS, and flush headphone jack are the big ones. But the 3G has all sorts of problems with the phone (dropping calls and such) that the 2G does not have.
Moreover, with phone purchases, you only get a subsidized upgrade once every 2 years, so you'd better be sure the phone you're upgrading to is worth using that credit on.
I will most certainly be waiting for the next version.
Ummm. Last time I checked, the info I provided the OP will take him directly to the source that will answer all of his questions. And there's not an ounce of whining in my post.
Ok, I see your point. It's just frustrating to see questions asked that are so easy to find. I mean seriously, if I wanted to upgrade my phone, would I want to go to macrumors or AT&T? I'm constantly amazed at the questions people ask when the answer they need is truly 2 clicks away.
