How much will I pay for iPhone 3G?

If you are upgrade eligible and your account is in good standing, you will pay $199 for 8GB (black) and $299 for 16GB (black or white). Two-year contract required.

You have the option to purchase an early upgrade priced at $399 for 8GB (black) or $499 for 16GB (black or white). Two-year contract required.

In the future, AT&T may offer a no-commitment option of $599 for 8GB and $699 for 16GB.

Answer 2

If you are not currently an ATT wireless customer, or you are opening a new wireless account, then the price is the first one you mentioned.

If you are existing ATT wireless customer, you will be "upgrade eligible" if you are not on a contract, or perhaps for some other reason.  In that case, you still pay the first price.

If you are an existing ATT wireless customer, and you are still on an ATT contract, and you want to port that number to the iphone, you will have to pay the second (higher) price.  The higher price is to cover the early termination on your contract.  It's possible that if your contract is near the end, they might give you the lower price anyway, I don't know.

The third price listed is just if you want to by an iphone 3G without the contract.
