ATT iPhone 3G customers pay more for iPhone 3GS
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Corporate News, Portable Audio / Video, Wireless / WiFi,
Amidst all the iPhone 3GS hype, there is some bad news today as well for owners of the current iPhone 3G who may want to upgrade. As it turns out, those $199/299 prices being thrown around aren’t for you. Those are for new customers, and those who are at the end of their contract. If you are a current iPhone 3G owner on AT&T, you’ll have to shell out $399 for a 16GB iPhone 3GS, or $499 for a 32GB model. Ever have your iPhone 3G replaced because it was faulty? You may be in for an even bigger shock. As you can see in the image above, there are two iPhones that AT&T is giving the upgrade status on. The thing is, both phones were purchased on the same day, and are on the same plan (I should know, as it is my account up there.) See how the upgrade dates are different? Straight up ridiculous.
Oh, and if you are just completely not eligible for an upgrade, or want to buy an iPhone 3GS with no contract commitments? The 16GB model will cost you $599, and the 32GB iPhone 3GS will run you a cool $699. I know, it hurts.
We cannot believe the continuing cavalcade of mini-netbooks of late. Fujitsu’s M2010 is only 10.2 x 7.4 x 1.3-inches and weighs only 1.15kg. It has a 10.1-inch WSVGA backlit display with 1024 x 576 resolution, an Intel Atom Processor N270, 160 GB SATA, a memory slot for up to 2GB RAM, three USB ports, stereo speakers, mono mic, Bluetooth compatibility and a 50 second startup. Available in four different colors, the M2010 carries a starting price of $499.00.
