- Ok. I just got back from the at&t store. I returned my iPhone 3Gs that I got on the 11th of last month. They charged me 19.90 (a 10% re-stocking fee).
They put my sim card back in my old BB 8310. The manager told me to be sure to come back on June 15th and pre-order my iPhone 4.
Now the great part is this. Their new data plan sucks, in my opinion. The manager is pretty cool. I've dealt with him several times before. So he suggested, since I was an existing customer and had the option of keeping my unlimited data plan, that I not turn on the data for my BB 8310. Then when I come in on June 24th to get my new iPhone 4, they'll turn my data back on and I'll still have my old unlimited data plan. He said that if he turned my data on right now, then when I came in for my iPhone 4, for some reason, I would automatically have to choose one of the new data plans. I think I can live without internet on my phone for a little while. I don't know why it's setup that way, but I don't like the 200 mb and 2 gig data plan options. I stream a lot of music and watch videos while at work, so I need my unlimited data plan
So, I guess I'm all set. Can't wait to get my hands on my new toy06-08-10 11:05 AMLike 0 - I'm pretty sure the OS shouldn't change in smoothness. I don't think they said how fast the processor was but I would also think it's snappier than the 3GS.06-08-10 12:58 PMLike 0
- I took the apple route... It lasted a month then I was back to blackberry. Battery was horrible among other things.
By the way.... This fancy new iphone4.... Does it have a camera flash yet?
Meh, maybe I'll be convinced to go back when iphone5 comes out

Make sure he noted that on your account. You don't want to run into any hiccups with that.06-08-10 01:09 PMLike 0 -

- When I was at the AT&T store today, the manager told me that they're going to be offering insurance on the iPhone 4 for the first time. He said it's going to be $13 and some change per month. I think that's kind of steep, but the iPhone 4, 16 gig like I'm getting costs $599. The 32 gig costs $699. That's a lot of dough to have to come up with if you break or lose it.06-08-10 09:58 PMLike 0
- Been a Blackberry user for a while, and I plan on switching pretty soon.

I am going in next week to preorder the new iphone 4. I want to try it out see if I am going to stay with it or go back to the 9700. It's the apps and browser that I really like about it. We'll see if the email and multitasking are up to snuf on the 24th. We shall see. I haven't been under contract in a while so ATT finally snags me into a 2 year contract. Let's hope it's all it's hyped to be.06-09-10 12:36 PMLike 0

I was fortunate enough to be eligible for an upgrade last month and I knew that apple would probably announce the iPhone 4's release date on 6/7 at the WWDC, so I upgraded to the iPhone 3Gs on 5/11 just to road test it and see if I liked it. It's all it's cracked up to be. Blackberry can't touch the web browsing and the email comes in full html, graphics and all.
When they announced the release date, I did a restore on my iPhone 3Gs to get it back to the original state and returned it on 6/8 and canceled my upgrade without any problems. The atl&t store manager advised me to make sure I was there on 6/15 to pre-order the iPhone 4 and he made a note on my account that I can keep my current unlimited data plan, instead of choosing one of those 2 new lousy data plans.
So right now I'm back to using my Blackberry and watching the calendar, waiting for 6/24.06-09-10 12:57 PMLike 0 - Yeah and it's a high deductible to pay as well. I'm guessing Apple still will offer Apple care for it which is what I will do. I will have 2 iphones on my account so if I did get insurance, I would only get it on one. What are the chances that something happens to both of them?06-09-10 01:04 PMLike 0

- Service that offers extended warranties for electronics. It's big on eBay and goes beyond the manufacturer's warranty. The prices vary depending on the device. Pretty good service. It's a good idea for those that get devices second hand or are not eligible for insurance you your carrier or company. You'll have some protection with it. Read up on it.
