I got a blackberry and I'm not really happy with it. I was told that if there was a smaller iPhone I could swap, or can I swap with the current one?
Got a tip for us?

Erm... by swap, do you mean...
- AT&T gives you an iPhone at no charge for your phone?
- AT&T takes your phone back, gives you a credit for whatever you paid for it
- You can put your SIM in an iPhone and have it work properly on your account
- I put the grrr in Swinger, baby

Something like that, more like just trading phones.
That 4th option could work, too.
You can't trade phones. How much did you pay for the BB? The iPhone is a minimum $400 device. So if you paid at least $400 for the BB, then I guess you could trade them out within 30 days or something.
Agreed... if you're not looking to throw down a fair amount of money, probably the only way it would happen is if you could find a store with a refurb iPhone in stock. The fact that the BB was subsidized doesn't mean anything, in essence. You'll only get what *you* paid for it.
Alternatively, unlock and sell it, and then buy a refurb iPhone....

Alright. Another question though, isnt the BB like $400 itself? Or will the discount pretty much shoot that option down?
That's what I'm saying. It doesn't matter if RIM list price for the BB is $47,652, and AT&T paid RIM $47,553 in subsidy fees on your behalf to get you the phone for $99. If you paid $99 for it, you're only going to get $99 back.
If for some crazy reason, you actually gave AT&T $400 of your money for a Blackberry, in that case, yes, you'd get to trade it back for another $400 phone.... But I'm not sure under what circumstance AT&T would sell you a BB for that much money.
