iPhone 3GS Launch Day Details and AT&T Pricing
AT&T has posted a walkthrough video explaining how to order the new iPhone 3GS and what pricing you can expect. Unlike the iPhone 3G launch, Apple and AT&T are allowing pre-orders on the iPhone 3G S which means you can order today to get your handset by June 19th.
The iPhone 3GS will be available for $199/16GB and $299/32GB for "new and qualifying" customers. The existing 8GB and 16GB 3G models can also be purchased for $99 or $149 (while supplies last).
On launch day (June 19th), two lines will form at 7 a.m. local time at the AT&T retail stores. Customers who had pre-ordered from retail stores will be able to pick up their iPhone 3GSs at that time, while customers who wish to purchase that day will have to wait until the store opens at normal business hours.

It sucks that they won't let you pre order if you're wanting to get two iPhones on a family plan. I was all ready to pre order last night and set up my AT&T account (I'll be a new customer).
I guess I'll just have to wait until launch day.
Edit: Wait, I just checked on AT&T's website again and it says "limit one per household when ordering online." Maybe if I go into the AT&T store and pre order, I can get two iPhones. I must call now and find out!
Edit 2: I just called my local AT&T store and they said there is a limit of one iPhone per household when pre ordering. It doesn't matter if you walk into a store, order it over the phone, or order it online, the limit of one still applies. I guess I'll be one of the unlucky people without a pre order.

I want to know why I have to wait until March, 2010 to upgrade my iPhone 3G, when I bought it last July on launch day, just like everyone else.

Is there a delivery option? Because standing in line is very 1980s. Or Soviet Union.

because you signed a two year contract

No reason to upgrade to the new hardware - unless of course you are running on first gen. ATT flat out sucks in my area and I am patiently waiting for Verizon to get the phone.

I think the teleprompter is crooked.

had a bad night's sleep and has a crick in his neck? I noticed the same thing. It's a bit annoying.
