This is a great deal at $49! Only downside is that the battery life on the 3G or 3GS is sometimes a bit short. However, for those of you that are looking to extend the life, I found this product on Amazon for under $14 with freight included and it works great. Here’s the link:

Occasionally you arrive throughout a post that just appears to produce sense. Thanks a great deal

I agree. I’ve been a loyal AT&T customer for years (since the Cingular days), and now when I want to upgrade to the iPhone 3G I have to pay $399. just because I have a year left on my current contract? That sucks.

I think it stinks that AT&T is penalizing long term existing clients by charging us $200 more than an new client. poor client management. I was interested in a new iphone but now I will probably change service providers.

Hi,

Are you sure everyone is eligible for the upgrade?

Read this from AT&T

You can use old iphone(2.5G) as ipod touch. No SIM necessary.

Larry-

One thing you can do is go to your local Best Buy or Walmart or anywhere that sells pay as you go phones. There is one model that costs $15, with that you can stick it in your 2.5G iPhone and then you will still have the phone in case you need it plus a full functioning iPod touch :) Hope it helps!

Here’s a question I’ve never seen answered. I have an iPhone. If I upgrade to the 3G iPhone (and presumably can continue using my telephone number with the 3G model) – what am I supposed to do with the old one? I don’t want to sell it, I don’t want to use it as a phone (I don’t need 2 cellphones). Is there any possible use for it as, essentially, an iPod Touch? Does this require a different sim card? I know there was quite a lot of talk last year that you can’t use an iPhone even as an iPod without a sim card. What are the available choices for people like me?
