Sure, just not for the $199/$299 subsidized price. Check your account online to see when you are eligible to upgrade at the subsidized rate.

I just bought mine 7 weeks ago. I checked and it will cost $499!!! Nice huh?
We're able to get next April 2010 for the lower price, which hopefully we've all been stung by this that we won't buy an iPhone in April 2010 because the new iPhone 4G will be released in June 2010. Lesson learned.

At that time you will get all the people that bought a iPhone 3GS coming on these boards and saying how much they hate Apple because they just bought their iphone and......

Yeah, especially because this is something that never happens! Companies never upgrade their hardware, equipment or software. The horror! How dare Apple upgrade the iPhone! They should just stick with dated hardware. That's the way to keep people interested and ahead in technology.
I'm real sick of people bit@hing about things that happen all the time. Get over it already. Get off of the merry-go-round if you don't want it to keep goin' 'round.

I talked to a sales representative from AT&T this morning. She said if you purchased an iPhone 3G between 5/9/09 and 6/8/09 you will get a free upgrade to 3G S (will have to pay a restocking fee). I bought my iPhone 3G on 5/9... That bit of info made my day.

I've read that there's a 30-day exchange period... check with your AT&T store and see. You can always do a return--and even take a restocking hit if there is one. Could be well worth it, especially considering how small an amount that is compared to the money you'll fork over during the length of a 2-year contract! Wouldn't you rather have the 3GS over the next 2 years?!

WOW, that was a quick week, between just two posts in this thread.
Return it, less a 10% restocking fee, and buy the new one when it comes out.

Why are we being punished for buying apple products. Don't get me wrong I love the product but the way that they let AT&T dictate how their customers are treated is terrible. I have owned both iphones and plan to own the next. However charging us the extra $200 for being loyal customers is flat out wrong!!!

You aren't being punished, either by Apple or AT&T. You signed a contract, you agreed to buy a subsidized phone, now you need to complete paying off that subsidy. Works that way with all cell phone manufacturers and all cell phone providers in the US. Nothing wrong with it and it has worked this way for a long time...at least a long technology time.

I like all the hate for Apple the last 24 hours.
We have basically known for over 2 months that an iPhone announcement would be made yesterday. I could have upgraded in that time but I held off knowing a new one would probably get released sometime in June or July.
Patience is a virtue.

What other cell phone company allows you to upgrade while still within the contract and doesn't charge the unsubsidized price? I used to have Verizon and they don't give you any "credit" towards an upgrade while still under contract. If I wanted another phone I paid full price (and I was close to the end of the contract).
I'm amazed at the utter feeling of entitlement so many people have.

It's not a feeling of entitlement. I'm one that sat in line for both the first and second phone. Yes, I like to have the latest and greatest and sometimes you have to pay to play, I totally understand. I'm willing to wait until 8/10 when I'm eligible for the discounted price, BUT, does Apple want everyone to wait? Think about it. Why wouldn't they want every single 3G user to get a 3Gs as soon as they possibly can? Isn't their goal always to sell as many units as they can as fast as they can?
For people like me, not a big deal. I'm doomed to always want the NEW, so I'll play the game. For others, the hype will die down and when their time comes (contract expires) they might not be so enthusiastic anymore.
