I don't need all these added features, at least not yet.

But $99 would have been nice.

I think last time Apple did some sort of refund for people who bought a phone right before the price drops. If AT&T isn't helpful give Apple a call.

yay, i smell birthday present.

ATT gives you thirty days to return a phone and cancel a contract w/only a forfeit of the $36 activation fee. Tell them you want to return it and get a new one for the new price. They may just give you the adjusted price for the asking just to avoid the PITA aspect.

If you terminate after the 30th day but before expiration of the Agreement's Service Commitment, you will pay AT&T an Early Termination Fee for each wireless telephone number associated with the service.”

If they won't tell them you're going to go to Sprint and get the new Pre.

I'd call CS first and see if they'll give you the price adjustment on your bill. I have been with ATT for 13 years (starting as SWB...) and have, in the last few years, found over-the-phone CS to be far more cooperative and accommodating then the stores.

in France ORANGE was the only phone network to sell the Iphone and they had 2 years contacts with Apple .

Since April 2009 any Operators here are allowed to sell the Iphone at their own price . Bouygues Telecom are the cheaper 89 Euros for the Iphone then 35 Euros per month unlimited internet and an hour calling . 89 Euros is only for the 8Go Iphone .

Oh this is so very tempting.......pant pant lust lust

Have to admit my usual contrary self wants to say screw you to the iPhone and go with the Pre. Once something is "too popular" and I wasn't on board I usually don't adopt it. It's kinda dumb of me.

We'll see, we've got time before the contract is up.

I'm waiting for the opportunity to buy a Pre (didn't get on waiting list and told it will be a few weeks probably before they're available for walk up sales).

Just remember that the $99 8GB iPhone is the non-S G3 (e.g. - not the new, faster technology).

My personal thing is that I normally avoid the first generation of a new item - for me, no Pre until 2nd generation.

Normally I'm the same on 1st gen, but my current phone is almost 4 years old so I'll take the plunge. Unfortunately our current plan is almost 8 years old and so significantly cheaper than we'll need to get full function out of the Pre.

Haven't checked yet, though, if I have to take the minutes with the dataplan or if I can save money by keeping lower minutes (I use hardly 100 actual talking minutes a month).
