AT&T Will Expand iPhone Upgrade Window For Early Adopters
Today AT&T announced that it will extend its best iPhone 3G S upgrade prices to customers who technically won't be eligible until September, which means a whole slew of customers who were on the wrong edge of eligibility are now being offered the better price.
In preparation for the phone's launch on Friday, AT&T wrote today: "We've been listening to our customers. And since many of our iPhone 3G customers are early adopters and literally weeks shy of being upgrade eligible due to iPhone 3G S launching 11 months after iPhone 3G, we're extending the window of upgrade eligibility for a limited time."

Why Do iPhone Owners Hate AT&T So Much?
It's become clear since the release of the iPhone 3G S that most iPhone owners hate AT&T. A lot. Why is that, exactly? PC World has the answer.
iPhone user AT&T gripes include the (lack of) speed of the carrier's data network, lack of MMS and tethering (use of the iPhone as a modem), high early upgrade prices, and AT&T's limits on the development and functionality of iPhone apps (see: Skype and Slingplayer apps.)
Of course, except for the fourth, these are all issues that many customers, especially smartphone owners, have with AT&T. Minor details.

That's when he stumbled on a solution that's almost hilarious in its simplicity. More »
