The price of $199 doesn't apply to me because I'm an AT&T customer in good standing. I'm not yet eligible for an upgrade. So MY cost is $399!!! Exactly twice the cost if I never was an AT&T customer.
I asked the Apple Store sales lady where it says that. No where IN THE STORE does it say that. She had to search the website, page after page, where another sales clerk said it was, to find the reference or policy. So if the website is considered the store, I guess that's more of the fine print.
I told her I thought that was real shitty. It wasn't her fault. She's not making Jobs policy.
So I went to the AT&T store. Thought maybe I could get them to move my upgrade date. No way. She said they can do that with any other phone except the iPhone. Apple is adamant about that.
So . . . I can cancel the AT&T account I have and start a new one, and THEN buy an iPhone for $199. But then I'd have to have a new number. Or I can wait until April 2009 for the next upgrade period. Oh yes, or I can pay $399.
Maybe I'll buy a Blackberry. I guess my son was right after all, in a round about way . . .

That's pretty shady. Can't you just start a new two year contract and keep your number?
