Yes, it is new at least as far as existing customers are concerned -- last time around we got the upgrade pricing, not the "pay full price and you still need to commit to a new contract" plan ...
Hopefully, they'll change their minds (which they did last time, as I recall ...)
Anyways, tried to talk to a live person at the Apple Store, but the welcome-bot kept saying "I'll connect you to the next representative" and then hung up. I hate those automated systems.

Back from the Apple Store ...
Apparently, if you're an existing customer and upgraded last year to the 3G, you "used up" your incentive pricing ... so the sweet deal really is: Full boat on the hardware and a new two-year commitment ...
No thanks =P
I guess instead of re-upping folks for another two years + the $200-$300 cash, they rather have ... nothing + a contract that runs out in another 7 months.

Yeah, they do suck on their pricing. Get the OS 3.0 for now (it's free for the existing iPhones) and then check upgrade pricing in 7 months. They might have a better deal by then.
