508 for 2 iphones, hopefully 35% bing c/b + att premier discount (no activation fee, roughly $30 monthly discount)

how do you use att premier?

Linked through my company
 
Does Pandora + iPhone mean that I can have Pandora in my car at all times (as long as the battery lasts...)?

As soon as you add a group plan you have to pick a 2nd phone...
 
any ways to get discounts for regular people? i wonder if we own a store if we can somehow get a discount on ours...or is it only for big corps?

Yes!

Be sure and give Slacker a try too. I've found that they don't repeat as much as Pandora, although their ads might bug you.

bing cashback or start a business...
 
I ordered mine from the Apple Online Store in the wee hours of the 15th. Still says that it will be delivered on the 19th. I'm a bit skeptical of that claim as my order status says "not yet shipped" but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I won't cry if I don't get it on the 19th but if my Razr dies before the iPhone shows up I'll be in a real bind.

bing for the hardware, i HIGHLY doubt you'd be able to do an att premier account unless you're moving tens of thousands of ATT accounts.

thought so, thanks ns1! i thought bing only works if youre opening a new account or adding a line, neither of which we are doing. 🙁

You are correct, Bing is only for brand new activations. Though, 35% back is like $100 rebate for the 32GB phone, not a bad deal.

As for applying for a FAN (Foundation Account Number), you'd probably have to have a certain amount of lines before qualifying. I'd imagine it would be prohibitive for a small buiness as its probably in the hundreds of lines.

Trying to decide on this.

Give my 16GB 3G to my wife, and jailbreak/unlock her 6GB 3G and sell it on ebay for ~$300 and pay another $300 to get a 16GB 3Gs for myself or just suck it up until next year. I use my phone constantly for games and internet browsing, so I'd utilize the new hardware pretty good.

Input?

As a 3G owner I am going to pass this time around. There is nothing hardware-wise that will make this a worthwile upgrade, and the new OS will take care of most gripes we had with it from the beginning. Don't get me wrong, new bump in the hardware specs is nice, but it's not nice enough (to me) to justify a $400 expenditure at this time. I am holding out until next year when hopefully a truly next-gen version will be released and I will be eligible for full sibsidy price.

In the meantime I will enjoy my new Nokia N97 that will be delivered today 😀
 
Lame, the link to my company's at&t premier website has two ads for pre-ordering the 3G S but when click on them it takes you to a listing of all of their phones but no 3G S. 🙁

If I order it from the consumer site, can I just call afterwards to switch to my company's premier monthly rate plan?
 
so if i buy the new iphone, i cant get the 2010 (the 'new' new one) when it comes out, right? That kinda sucks. But i suppose even if i do upgrade to another phone besides the iphone, im still screwed if i want the 2010 iphone. oh well.
 
I pre-ordered 6/12 from AT&T online and it still shows my order as "In Progress". Tomorrow delivery does not look like it is happening...maybe it will change with nightly processing but I'm not holding my breath.

Call ATT

I called and after 30 minutes on hold, met up with a nice rep who told me my order was processed and waiting to ship (online still says in progress)

I called and didn't have to wait too long - about 5 minutes or so but was told that the orders for the new iPhones were not going to be processed until tomorrow so it won't be shipped until then so I won't be getting it tomorrow. He said Saturday or Monday would be more likely.
 
I would actually consider getting an iPhone for me and the wife, but I'm just 7+ months into my contract after picking up new phones last November. Oh well, one of the VERY FEW times I would buy an Apple product, and I'm not going to because I can't get the cheaper price. Oh well, thems the breaks.
