(What doesn't make sense, is my "average spend" is about $80/month... I didn't even have to pay the $35 processing fee, because of my "spend"...)
Well now that is interesting. I think most peoples average spend is about $80 per month. I wonder if you'll be eligible to upgrade next year as well? When I called a week ago the guy said I'd be able to upgrade each year. As mentioned in a previous post, he did give me reason to think he wasn't totally 100% with it, but I still liked his answer.

Hmmm. I wonder what a 16GB 3G is even worth.
I have developed a strategy for this. Perhaps I'm overly pessimistic or just a worry wart, but I live in constant fear of losing my phone or having it break in some non-refundable way (water damage). If I do upgrade I think I'm just going to leave my 3g in a drawer and use it as a backup should something go awry. My cousin is much like me and he went 4 months without his iphone after losing it, went crazy and spent $700 on a new one. I'd rather not get into that dilly of a pickle.
