AT&T Confirms iPhone 3G Launch Time, Pricing

Follow us on Twitter

For those of you wondering when to get in line for the iPhone 3G, the launch isn't going to be at 6 PM as it was for the iPhone. AT&T has confirmed what was already rumored: a 8 AM launch time on July 11th.

In addition, it's given more details on pricing.

As we already know, only new customers, those who purchased an iPhone prior to July 11th, or customers eligible for an upgrade can get the $199 (8 GB) or $299 (16 GB) prices for the iPhone. Of course, eligibility for an upgrade discount, AT&T says, is generally determined by amount of time remaining on a current contract and payment history. This makes it sound a little subjective, and calling Customer Service doesn't give you an exact answer.

For example, I'll have 1 month left before my contract is up: can I upgrade? C.S. says: maybe. Thanks a lot.

Not eligible for the upgrade price? You can buy pay $399 for an 8 GB model, or $499 for a 16 GB version, with a two-year contract. You can also get the phone sans contract for $599 (8 GB) or $699 (16 GB). Contract or no, you still have to activate before leaving the store.

There will also be an activation fee of either $18 for existing customers eligible for an upgrade, or $36 for new customers.

Yeah, yeah, stick it to us.
