This week I went to an Apple Store to upgrade form my iPhone 3G to a new 32 GB iPhone 3G S, thinking AT&T was giving the option to iPhone 3G users who got the iPhone between July – September a good upgrade price meaning 199 or 299. Turns out yes we are getting early upgrade price of 399 or 499 depending on the model we want to get, and if you didn’t get it those dates you have to pay full price 599 or 699.
AT&T come on, iPhone users have the most expensive minute plan because we don’t get a regular plan as other users, but instead we have to pay a more expensive plan with less minutes, with an expensive data plan, plus an additional sms plan. If thats not enough we have to wait TWO YEARS before we can upgrade to another phone. AT&T if you want to keep the exclusivity agreement with Apple on the US be more flexible, we pay more money than other users and receive less benefits. I know the iPhone is the best phone out on the market but come on if you weren’t the only carrier with it on the US believe me I wouldn’t be an AT&T user.
Well, I always look on the bright side you make me pay more money, but with the new iPhone Firmware 3.0 Im getting my moneys worth with tethering for free and believe me its very good, very fast and best of all free for know so take advantage while this lasts. (You don’t have to jailbreak you iPhone for this to work just install the carrier settings for AT&T and thats it. Remember Rake Point doesn’t support this methods but we were testing it. If do this its at your own risk.)
The pictures that show iPhone on tethering mode are actually from iphonebuzz but the method used by them was not the one tried on our iPhone 3G.
