When do I get the chance to upgrade

[kpowell911]

Hi, I know theres all this chat about the New iphone, And it all looks awesome, But I know I've got no chance of getting one anywhere near realise date.

Im 14 months into a 2 year contract on O2, With an old School 8gb 3G.

At what point do I get the option to upgrade? Do I literally have to wait till the contract is up, Or can i upgrade before?

Thanks

normally 1 month before the end of the contract.

Seriously? 15 months? Thats next month?

Phone up and push it, you'll be suprised how far you get.

Well ive just got all my info out, turns out i got the phone on the 26/05/2009, So its actually just over a year (Could have sworn i got it start of April)

Im in no rush to upgrade, But I do know that the only phone i am having from now is an Apple, So was just wondering when I can actually upgrade it, Expected it to be 2 years.

Sorry, I didn't read that properly. I thought it said 18months.

You'll have to wait 21months to upgrade. 3months early is usually the limit.

i'm hoping as i've got just over 2 months left of my 18 month contract i'll be able to get it on release, i know the usual is 1 month before contract end, depending on spend, but i'm gonna try and push it and see what they say!? i need 720p HD Video Recording and iMovie in my life! lol

O2 official on Twitter just updated with the tweet:

..

After 15months.

Sorry, I didn't read that properly. I thought it said 18months.

My 18 month contract with o2 I can only upgrade (At the earliest) the 17th month. As far as I'm aware you can only upgrade in your last month?

any news on this?

O2 have said they will announce it soon. Prob by the end of this week.

This is the latest tweet:

02 customers still in contract will get a limited time special upgrade offer. More details in the coming days at www.j.mp/iPhoneOnO2

Looking at AT&T's website, their offer is currently:

iPhone 4 16GB
New and "Upgrade Eligible" Customers = $199 (£140ish?)
Early Upgrade = $399 (£280ish?)
No Contract = $599 (£420ish?)

iPhone 4 32GB
New and "Upgrade Eligible" Customers = $299 (£210ish?)
Early Upgrade = $499 (£350ish?)
No Contract = $699 (£490ish?)

So, if O2 follow, you could 'upgrade early' for about £300. But who knows.

I would want a 32GB and I would be upgrading around 6 weeks early. But f**k am I paying £100 more than an Upgrade Eligible customer.

I'll just wait thanks.
