Apple Unveils New iPhone 3GS → upgrade

Upgrading your phone may be expensive:

For non-qualified customers, including existing AT&T customers who want to upgrade from another phone or replace an iPhone 3G, the price with a new two-year agreement is $499 (8GB), $599 (16GB), or $699 (32GB)

I'm hoping that this will exclude those who, like me, paid full (unsubsidized) price for their first-gen iPhones and did not upgrade to a 3G. If they're going to charge me $699, I'll wait till contract expiry next Feb...

Do you know the rate for an ATT user not locked in contract? mine is coming up in a few weeks so I would just wait.

If you aren't under a contract or at the end it's $199 for 16gig and $299 for 32gig.

Where did you see that?

As stated before I will check upgrade prices next week.

I am thinking... for some, it might be cheaper to break the contract and then go back under a new 2 year contract with the associated iphone rate plan. Not sure how you would do that expect by porting the number to another party then porting it back (if you care about keeping the number that is).
