I understand the miff, but people who bought the original bought it unsubsidized, and the 3G came subsidized. I can understand why AT&T wants people to wait until they at least come close to finishing their contracts, or make up the value of the unused subsidy.

I know with Verizon they let you get upgrade pricing after 20 months when you have a 24 month contract. I have always seen my purchases as two year deals; I'll lust after new handsets in the meantime but I'm always happiest when I wait anyway.

Jason Dunn Executive Editor Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 29,135		I'm realy puzzled by the sense of entitlement that some iPhone users have - why should you get any sort of price break on a new piece of hardware, unless you're renewing your phone contract? What makes the iPhone different than any other phone? __________________ Want to contact me personally? Use this. Want to read my personal blog? Check it out. Want to follow me on Twitter?

Well in your case it seems like a legitimate gripe - did you find out why your date jumped from this year to next year? That doesn't make much sense...
