The No iPhone Blues

I’ve got the no iPhone blues.  Because I can’t get an iPhone 3G for another three months unless I want to pay $200 more than the $199 list price.

AT&T Deathstar

Turns out, the evil empire that is AT&T won’t sell the iPhone 3G to people like me (who don’t have an upgrade credit available until October) at $199.  Nope, they want $399 for it.  And frankly, I’d rather wait three months and spend that extra money to get 8 GB of extra space.

So it looks like I’ll be iPhoneless in Atlanta for another three months.  No, it’s not the end of the world, but I won’t be able to email, browse, and surf the web from my phone on vacation in August from the top of a mountain.  Shafted by the death star again!

If anyone knows how to get around this upgrade credit crap, drop me a line.  I want the iPhone!
