The iPhone HD and 4th gen iphone are the same thing lol. Just speculation as to what they will be named. We don't know what the iPhone will be called when it is released let alone do we know what next year's model will be called or what it will contain lol.

Sweet

That's good news cause more people now will consider of buying an iphone, but sadly i just bought a new 16gig 3gs from apple store cost me 250 w/taxes.

Man they're really trying to get rid of all the leftovers now.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

DAMMIT WALL-MART!

I just bought my 3G for $99 :'(

Really? No one saw this coming? My mother has expressed interest in an iPhone for a couple of months and I told her to hold off until June hit because the 3GS would move into the $99 price slot.

My bro-in-law bought a 3G and was told that he had a limited amount of time to exchange it for a 3GS + price difference. So go now!

How much does it cost to bail out of the ATT contract? Anyone know?

About $325+ come June 1st - ModMyI.com did an article on it a couple of days ago. Right now its $175.

i believe wwdc is june 7 so this is about 2 weeks in advance, seems about right

[DoubleD]

it's already on wal-marts site for 97.00!!
Walmart.com: Electronics: Apple iPhone: iPhone 3GS

As I said in previous posts...the 3GS will take the 3G spot. It is a no brainer. Phasing out the 3G will make it easier to push out firmwares for Apple. 2 devices. Next year the 4G will take the 3GS's spot.

[tudtran]

That's pretty good.

[extremzocker]

too bad the prices here in the UK are so much higher...

Thats absurd. I was about to renew my contract when the 4G came out but was then going to back out of the contract and sell those phones then go elsewhere (Sprint, Verizon)to get away from AT&T . They must of saw that coming.

[CaptainChaos]

That is exactly why they are doing this

[Exo III]

So would the $175 cancellation fee still apply as long as the phone was bought prior to June 1st? If so, how many times could one sign up and later cancel?

[CaptainChaos]

It only applies after June 1st. You have to make it through 1 months service before cancelling though because if you ancel before that time you have to return the phone or pay full price for it.

[CMOSlabs]

Out with the old and in with the new. Its getting harder to keep up with all the upgrades and such. Wheres that iWatch
Anybody know when at&t will be offering the 4g upgrade option?
If I got the rumors right its around the 26th or so in June?

[Dayvidpriddy]

I was at a AT&T store this morning in the DC area and they are also selling 3GS's for 99 bucks (well ok a few more then Walmart but who cares?) Also one of the reps at the store told me that the new iPhone coming out will NOT be subsidized and it will cost a cool 699 bucks to purchase (16GB or 32GB for 899!)

I think I'll be hitting up the HD2...I'm not paying Apples ******* inflated prices I'm sick of Steve Jobs ********. Damn to the person who donated their liver to that slumlord!

[trov]

is the walmart iphone unlocked?

that guy who told u that is a damn liar they dont sell millions upon millions of smartphones without a subsidy and your pretty dumb if you believed that they will be charging full price for every thing

[rhekt]

just trying to sqweeze out the most 3gs' they can before the fourth gen arrives

So what does this mean? I'd like to buy one as a present for my gf in Thailand, and sit on it until unlock for BB is available after 4,0 OS release. Can I still avail myself of the US$175 cancellation fee, or will the one month service requirement kill it?

Maybe I'll just give her my 3GS when the 4G is available here in Japan, but I have not heard any time frame from Softbank for the rollout. That said, japan just passed a law prohibiting carrier locking; goes into effect November. Should make for some interesting smartphone choices for people outside Japan, as the phone selection here is very cool.
