AT&T announces iPhone 3G pricing and availability

Today, AT&T announced the pricing plans for this month’s arrival of the highly anticipated iPhone 3G.

iPhone 3G will be available for $199 for the 8GB model and $299 for the 16GB model. These prices require two-year contracts and are available to the following customers:

iPhone customers who purchased before July 11
Customers activating a new line with AT&T
Current AT&T customers who are eligible, at the time of purchase, for an upgrade discount

Existing AT&T customers who are not currently eligible for an upgrade discount can purchase iPhone 3G for $399 for the 8GB model or $499 for the 16GB model. Both options require a new two-year service agreement. In the future, AT&T will offer a no-contract-required option for $599 (8GB) or $699 (16GB).

Current customers can also wait until they become eligible for the upgrade discount. Current AT&T customers who are upgrading to iPhone 3G will pay an $18 upgrade fee and new AT&T customers will pay the standard $36 activation fee.

Wednesday, July 02, 2008A little expensive, but I might manage. I just hope that they are smart enough to ship a lot of phones to At&t stores. I'm not going to be happy if I wait in a long line just so don't get the phone.
