The problem

I dont have a problem with the fact ATT isnt going to give Iphone 3g users a break on the price. I can see a problem with the time frame in which a user is allowed to upgrade at the current pricing.
I bought my phone last july as many did. It tells me i can upgrade in december. Im fine with that, I dont really need the new phone.
However, I have a buddy that got his phone around the same time and it says he can upgrade on july 19th or so.
WTF, No reason for the different dates. Neither of us had the first gen iphone, We neither missed a payment.
Thats what i have a problem with.

Yeah, I upgraded after my wife and I'm eligible before she is. :-/ AT&T definitely has some systems problems.

It has to due with ARPU in the system. I bet your line is the master on the account so you are generating a TON of revenue on that number which means you will get special treatment when it comes to discounts. That is how it works in the ATT system, the one who is billing the most money usually can upgrade a lot earlier. It's an odd system but ATT put it in place because they wanted to reward people who spend a lot. Problem was the 2ndary lines on ATT are getting screwed because they are only billing out 9.99 plus whatever else you have on that line a month so it can't generate near as much as the main line that is billing 60+ a month.
