Sold my wifes 16GB 3GS for 365 and in the process of selling my 32GB 3GS hopefully for about 465, hopefully.

Depends on the data plan. If they Jack it up, limit it, or play the iPad data games, I will leave I think. Last week I was all in, today- not so much. Steves got some explaining to do, and I hope this does not overshadow the announcement.
Unfortunately no. I'm not eligible for the upgrade because my iPhone 3GS is only a little over 2 months old. I got this phone because my mom needed a new phone since her old *dumbphone* died and she was willing to take over my old 2G iPhone in exchange for me getting the current iPhone model.
She wanted an iPhone and the trade meant I was essentially getting a free upgrade from the 2G since I would have had to purchase the 4G iPhone (or any other phone) myself.

In all likelihood, no, since I don't have the cash sitting handy right at the moment. If it were to be released Friday, then yes, I would buy it then. And immediately list my 3GS for sale.
I just sold my iPhone 3G 16GB yesterday for $240 on eBay. It's jailbroken but not unlocked. I am just waiting for the payment to clear, so I should be sending it out by tomorrow. For a replacement I got a cheap little, uhm, I forget the brand.....it's just a little flip phone to hold me off for that week until I can get it in my hands. I will wait a couple days after release to actually go buy it, cuz I cannot stand lines. Maybe I can preoder it with AT&T? I'd rather buy it there, less crowds.
depending on what capacities the phone comes in, whether it's 16/32GB or 32/64GB I'll just buy the cheaper one, no need to overspend. This way I'll break completely even on a new phone @ $199 + taxes. Not bad saying my phone is 2 years old!

Not buying it until July 30th at the earliest, when i'm eligible for subsidy.
not then if my 3G continues to work. Which is not a given, since WiFi didn't work properly for a couple weeks a couple months ago after a drop. Then started working again. I figure there is something loose inside, maybe the antenna connection, and it is in contact again.
I just JB my phone so I could use MyWi occasionally with my iPad, if necessary. I don't know yet whether the 250MB plan on my iPad will suffice once I get over the "new" of it, and I don't really want to spend $50-$60 a month on data plans.

I am getting the new phone immediately. My Verizon contract is expired next month. Currently, I am using one of the old LG "chocolate" phones...horrible device and been waiting for a new phone since January.
Alas, my 4th charger broke today. I am beyond ready for a quality phone, even at the expense of paying almost two times per month. The worst part is either going and buying a new charger until the new phone comes out and wasting money, go without a phone and not spend the money on a (5th) new charger, or do the dishonest thing and get a new charger and return it within days of getting the new one.
My point, I can't wait 3-6 weeks for Apple to release a new phone. I can't go more than a day or two without one and I NEED an upgrade. I can't even believe I have waited this long before getting a quality phone.

today is a good good day
I just found out by selling my phone and my wifes I will no matter what turn a profit. Why? ATT bumped up her upgrade date so I will only most likely have to pay 199 for providing the price points are the same and 399 for me. I sold hers for 365 and mine hopefully will go for @400 and change so that will roughly leave 165 for accessories. gotta love

Yep, will be getting the highest model (hopefully 64GB) in white... or black... haven't decided 100% yet.
Absolutely, no question about it. I'd head over to the nearest AT&T store as soon as I found the time.
definitely. i also had my eligibility changed so i can get it for $299 (whatever the highest model is). regardless if that was changed or not, i was still going to get it!
