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.

I gave it a try and got: "No, you don't have to press any buttons, just talk to me like a real person" ... I actually considered for a second giving it a piece of my mind, just like I would with a real person ;-) Anyways, tried hitting "0" twice and got the same "I'll connect you" disconnect deal ... I'm off to the Apple Store to see if they can shed any light on this =)

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. Hell of a business model, guys =P

MacBozo Nut Dood Registered: 04/21/02 Posts: 17694 Loc: Pinellas Park, Florida	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. _________________________
