isn't this bogus

I purchased my 3g iphone last July,
which means the soonest i would be eligible for an upgrade is 18 months later (December).
so allowing people who would be eligible for upgrade in July-sept. helps neither me or any other iphone early adopter to purchase the 3gs at the discounted price.
By my reckoning we're all still left out in the cold! This "allowance" will only benefit non-iphone owners with an early opportunity to jump on the iphone bandwagon.

So, bottom line did ATT screw us over or am I missing something?

The only thing you are missing is that you have to be a iPhone 3g customer to be eligible for upgrade in july, august, and September of this year. It is kinda bogus still because while they are helping those people upgrade, they are still leaving many iPhone customers in the dark. I am eligible this January, so this does not help me any. AT&T sometimes does not think things through. 

Well there are two ways to look at this. I can pay $499.00 for a new 3GS, sell my 3G on eBay for $200.00 and not have to extend my contract.

I can pay the $160.00 ETF and be free of ATT and the crappy coverage area.

I can demand a new 3GS sign a new 2 year contract and pay $299.00

I think I am going back to Verizon, getting a normal phone plan, free phone and save $2400.00 over the life of what was my ATT plan.

If I need the INTERNET that bad I will take my laptop to a wifi hot-spot or if it is a 911 they can just call me on my cell phone.

Actually the earliest you could upgrade would be July 09 if you had good payment history with us and maintained a monthly bill for your line of $99.99. The 18th month upgrade is for people who chose to have limited feature and low minutes rate plans.
