Hey guys,
I have 2 options as far as getting an iPhone 3GS, and I wanted to get some suggestions and opinions as to which is a better path to go.
Since I am an employee at Rogers, we cannot buy the 3GS on our name/account until July 20th, which totally blows. So here are my two options that I have been back and forth about:
Option 1:
Buy the phone on launch day, under my dad's name, pay the normal price for the first month (I would normally get half off), and then after July 20th transfer the phone to my name and get the discount from then on. This way will basically cost me an extra $50 since I would not get my discount, and I would have to go through Rogers CS to transfer.
Option 2:
Just suck it up and wait the extra month and get it on my name, avoiding all the hassle of transferring.
What I am trying to decide is whether getting it now is really worth it. My store is only getting 14 units total, and 2 of them are going to be 32GB White models. My manager said he can hold one of them for me if I wanted to get it on launch. I've been iPhone-less for a year, and I really miss using it. I've been using my 1st Gen iPhone just as an iPod this whole time.
What do you guys think? Any suggestions/opinions are welcome.
