looks like you are eligible for an upgrade to the new iPhone 6 months before your 2 year deal ends, etc. I guess that makes me eligible in Dec. I cant wait to hear all the whining and bitching from people on the internets about that one.

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure it just means anyone whose plan is expiring in 2010 can get one when it comes out. I doubt ATT is extending the six months early thing all year.

Well they are to my understanding. My upcoming upgrade(or 2 years expiring) was to be in December and i called AT&T and confirmed I have an upgrade available right now. (hence me being able to get the new phone).

Um...right. This is what I saying. From what I've read, if your plan expires at any point in 2010, you can get a new iPhone when it's released. But I don't think they're going to extend it to the end of the year, and let people that are up in June of 2011 get a new phone in December of 2010.

But I could be wrong.

If your contract ends anywhere between today and December 31st, you can upgrade early (6/24). Any day after that you would have to wait. Say you have one on Jan 1st, you would have to wait until Jan 1st to get it and a person with a December 31st upgrade can get it on June 24th. It is only this 6 month window of opportunity.

I lucked out, my upgrade would have been coming until December 29th. I made the window by 2 days.

there is going to be a firestorm of people complaining about that one. I'm still unsure of what i would do. I would probably need to see the new iPhone in person. I kinda wonder why AT&T wouldn't let people just upgrade to the new iPhone every year? It just keeps extending people's contracts which means more money in their pockets. It keeps their customer base growing. Not to mention, when someone sells their old iPhone, the person who buys that, might throw that on AT&T's network; which again is more revenue from them. Any thoughts from anybody? Yes, i realize that AT&T gives Apple > $300 bones per device sold.

I originally was like eh, who cares about 720p video. But the more i think about it, that would be awesome! I love taking videos of my dog or of me shooting guns and throwing those videos up on youtube. I also enjoy filming random stuff at parties or whatever. I usually just use my canon sd 710 (i think) and it shoots videos at 640 X 480..so it's pretty crappy. But, not that bad. If the iPhone could do a lot better, it's one less device to carry around, or one less device to pack in my range bag, etc. Genius.

I am concerned though about the iPhone having glass on the front and the back of the phone, but in the presentation, they said, the glass is 20 times stronger than plastic. So i guess we shall see.
