I am looking at my cost to upgrade versus staying with my EDGE iPhone. Gizmodo is reporting that AT&T plans on enforcing their standard upgrade policy for the iPhone 3G, even for iPhone 2G users. That means if you don't qualify for a discount by virtue of being near the end of your 2 year contract (and no iPhone user would be), then you'll have to pay the full unsubsidized price (not yet disclosed). As you calculated, the new 3G plans were going to cost $360 more over the course of the 2 year contract, and now tack on at least $500 for the hardware. Odd, though because I would think that AT&T would be happy to transfer a 2G iPhone user to the more expensive, non-revenue sharing 3G plan. Their subsidy would have to be much higher than I'd originally thought (>$600?) for the new deal to be a net negative for AT&T. gizmodo.com
