But I need it now!
All kidding aside does anyone know how AT&T's upgrade policy works? I do need to get something now so I guess I might get the BOLD and then upgrade to the ONYX once it comes out. Would I simply just have to pay the 2-year contract price for the ONYX and then have my contract extended to 2 years from that date? Are there any other hidden costs that AT&T has in a process like this?06-02-09 06:49 AM - I'm in the same boat haha.
I need something to hold me over until then.
I think getting another BB before would end up being a lot more money if you got both.
I think if you got the Bold you would have to sign the 2 year agreement (which is the killer part, IMO) and then if you wanted to get the Onyx right when it comes out you might have to pay full retail.
I don't know all this contract mombo-jumbo, so I'm not too sure.

In the event you pass a year with that contract you signed then you are eligible for whats called an early exception upgrade which is the 2 year price plus $75. If not then its true you will pay full price for the onyx.But I need it now!

06-02-09 08:22 AM - I have ATT and after a year of your 2 year contract you are usually eligible for an upgrade at whatever $X.XX + 2 yr contract price they are offering on the phone which is usually pretty good. So every year I sign a new two year contract. Makes sense right?
Whatever. They get their warm fuzzy of having me wrapped up for 2 years and I get a new phone and the latest contract upgrade every year. Works for me.06-02-09 08:37 AM - Get the Tmo pay as you go Pearl II.That's the pickle I'm in now.
I'm moving back to the US and I need a new phone.
Well if I get a BB right now I have to wait 2 years to get another one.
If I wait then I have to use a crappy pay-as-you-go phone.
The situation sucks.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com06-03-09 02:31 PM - I get devices at the 2 year agreement price without having to do the mail in rebate through my company. If I do that do I have to extend my contract or is that just the price I pay for devices in general? To stay on topic I only ask because I was going to get the Bold now but if I can't upgrade till next year I will just wait for the end of the year and make my choice of the Xmas BBs coming out.yea if you were to sign a 2 year contract you will be stuck for at least 18 months.
