Local AT&T store refuses to acknowledge post 5/27 free upgrade help!

[HDiphone]

So my local AT&T store is being jerks about the post 5/27 thing that's been discussed. Does anyone have a link to anything official from AT&T regarding the free upgrade to the 3G for anyone who bought a first gen. after 5/27? I'm a 6/1 purchaser and want to get the darned upgrade!!! They are telling me I qualify to pay for it but I've re-read the comments from Brad Mays from AT&T on the subject and it seems pretty clear post 5/27 purchasers are eligible for the free upgrade?

While this was a rumor spawned from an allegedly leaked internal AT&T email, I don't belive it ever came to fruition.

AT&T's official press release from July 1st states:

Pricing and Eligibility

AT&T is making it easy for customers to prepare for their iPhone 3G purchase by posting "Get iReady" tips and frequently asked questions at www.att.com/iphone. The site also will include a link for customers to check their upgrade eligibility and other wireless account information.

iPhone 3G will be available for $199 for the 8GB model and $299 for the 16GB model. These prices require two-year contracts and are available to the following customers:

iPhone customers who purchased before July 11
Customers activating a new line with AT&T
Current AT&T customers who are eligible, at the time of purchase, for an upgrade discount
Existing AT&T customers who are not currently eligible for an upgrade discount can purchase iPhone 3G for $399 for the 8GB model or $499 for the 16GB model. Both options require a new two-year service agreement. In the future, AT&T will offer a no-contract-required option for $599 (8GB) or $699 (16GB).

Current customers may also choose to wait until they become eligible for an upgrade discount. Eligibility is generally determined by amount of time remaining on a current contract and payment history.

Current AT&T customers who are upgrading to iPhone 3G will pay an $18 upgrade fee and new AT&T customers will pay the standard $36 activation fee.

Nothing about anyone being able to upgrade for free.
