AT&T finally released details today on the plans available for the new iPhone 3g as well as the process to follow for the purchase and activation. This time around, unlike last year's iPhone launch, phone activation will be done IN-STORE. AT&T is still holding to the date of July 11, 2008. They are now saying that iPhone sales will begin at 8AM local time! The 8GB iPhone 3G will be $199 and the 16GB iPhone 3G will be $299 (both with a 2 year AT&T contract - of course).
Read AT&T's release on the details of the upcoming iPhone 3G.
They even have a fairly decent iPhone page with lots of information at http://www.att.com/iphone.
They also have some videos, one for existing AT&T customers and another for new AT&T customers.
Finally, read the "Getting iReady" iPhone 3G checklist to help you decide which plan and features you'll want.
You may wonder if I'm getting one. I'm not sure yet... the "in-store" thing just sounds a bit crazy, but you never know. I may just be one of those people getting up at 4AM and going to stand outside my local AT&T store. Who knows... Yes, I have access to the 2.0 software for my old phone, but the 3G and GPS are really compelling reasons to migrate. Especially the 3G because with my "old" iPhone (which uses the EDGE network) I cannot browse and talk at the same time. So, being able to talk and use data (which the 3G version does allow) is also a very compelling reason to upgrade.
Finally, from Apple, here is their iPhone 3G Guided Tour.
Stay tuned...
