Later rather than Sooner

So for the past few months I have been obsessing over, I mean wanting one of these:




So much so that I already knew what kind of applications I wanted to download onto my phone. I was ready to pay the $199 for the 8G and start another 2 - year contract with AT&T. But I just found out I can't get the 8G iphone for that price. Whaaaaaa?! Apparently because of the current contract I have with AT&T on our service I am not eligible for an upgrade until 10/21/09. That.is.so.long. I have the option of buying it now but I would have to pay full retail of $399 and still sign a 2-year contract. And as I much as I want the iphone, I just can't bring myself to pay the extra $200. Plus, the hubs wants to upgrade his phone to a blackberry so we would have to pay full retail price on that too. Boo! I hope October comes quickly.
