New iPhone 3Gs for me!!!

So...

As I twittered, I am getting a new iPhone 3Gs next week.

A couple of weeks ago, my iPhone (Edge) died. It was a trusty companion for almost two years. But it was replaced with a new iPhone 3G.

Then, this week Apple released it's news of it's new iPhone 3Gs. For me, I thought "That's cool... But I'll have to wait a while to get mine." That was until a couple of friends (L.G. and S.O.) encouraged me to rethink it. They reminded me that AT&T has a 30 day return policy on phones, including the iPhone. So I went in today and talked with them. Basically what is happening is that I am returning my iPhone 3G 16 GB on Friday morning June 19 and trading it in for a iPhone 3Gs 32 GB. And they are the same price. So basically I'm upgrading 18 months early and doing it for the price that I just paid for my new 3G!!!!!

Awesome!

I got the short end of the stick a couple of years ago when the price dropped. A lot of folks got some serious cash back. I got a $100 gift card. Which I was/am happy about. (I got something!) But this time, it worked out in my favor!!!

Sweet!

And I get to keep my current iPhone until then!! I thought I was going to have to do without for a few days. But I don't!

Double sweet!

1 Million iPhone 3G's... in the first weekend!!

Wow!!

Despite activation problems, they were still able to sell 1 million in the first weekend. It took 74 days last year with the first generation. But not this year.

Check out a full article HERE.

"Despite widespread activation problems, Apple said Monday that it sold its one millionth iPhone 3G on Sunday, just three days after the new handset launched worldwide on Friday, July 11. "iPhone 3G had a stunning opening weekend," said Apple chief executive Steve Jobs. Last year, Apple managed to sell just 270,000 iPhones during the first two days. Although the Cupertino-based electronics maker did not release a three day tally for first-generation iPhone sales, it would take the company nearly two and a half months to sell its one millionth unit."

Looks pretty sweet... I've been checking out some of the reports online. At this point, I think that I'm sticking with the original. But when it comes time to upgrade, you know where I'm going.

But I will be looking for a chance to go to Oakbrook (closest Apple Store) after July 17th!!
