Actually the cost of the Iphone 3GS is significantly cheaper in the UK than the US, and the plans simpler which is strange. You can get it free but the most popular tarrif of £40 about $60 gets you unlimited internet, 1200 minutes a month 500 texts (also in the US i believe you pay for incoming texts and minutes, not in Europe) and on that tarrif the phone will cost you the equivalent of $120

Jay,

Its been well documented on various blogs and news channels that a NEW iPhone was coming. Silly YOU for buying one in April.

Would you prefer that these tech companies upgrade their hardware every 10 years or so – so you can get your monies worth?

I saw our local Apple store today and there was a line of people camped out. Camped out FOR A PHONE. What shocks me to no end is that people took time off from their day to stand in line for hours for a PHONE. Our President has threatened to raise taxes on the upper-income population of America. These are the people who work hard and make the most income. Meanwhile, there are people who can blow off work or job-hunting and stand in line all day for a phone. Let's get these people back in the work force so they can earn some dollars and pay their taxes, that way the upper-eschelon is not carrying the load for these techo-geeks who have nothing better to do with their day than stand in line at a mall to be the first to have a phone. Anyone who braved the elements to get the new iPhone on Day One reaches the farthest depths of loserdom that I can only begin to imagine.

O and others, I recommend going online to AT&T's website and checking to see if you are eligible for the discounted upgrade. Login to your account and select upgrade. AT&T will tell you if you can get the new 3GS for the discountd price, then just order online instead of waiting in line and dealing with all the hassle of getting your phone set up. You have an iphone now, all this will die down in a couple of weeks when you get your phone in the mail.I wish this was an availible option last year and hope they continue to do it from here on out.

The nerve of them to sell me a phone in April and then debut new one in June and I can't buy it at upgrade price and have to pay full price.

HOPEFULLY YOU WON'T
