I would buy this in a heartbeat. Mow every three or four days just a little bit would keep a lawn looking great and healthy. - Jim Graham

Let's see what Apple says. Some feel it's unlikely. - Steve Rubel

That doesn't jive with anything I heard on the AT&T conf call Monday afternoon although that specific question wasn't asked. It really doesn't make sense because AT&T doesn't want us on the old $20 plan.They still have to split that with Apple but they keep all revs from the new $30 plan. They should be making it easier to get the new iPhone, not harder. This would suck, although I'm keeping my current iPhone anyway. - Kevin C. Tofel

burn early adaptor burn - ahmet bulent

that would be a good biz decision if they can dissect why this is a one time reason. I don't have an iphone, but they should - Noah David Simon

I had the same experience with a hard drive on a Mac last December. They wouldn't let me have the old disk back. There was no service contract, it was totally my property. I blogged it, and eventually they relented and let me have it back. - Dave Winer

that'd be just brutal if true I've heard a few more stories about Apple keeping replaced HDDs, but this...don't see it happening - Dobromir Hadzhiev

I don't see it. It would be a logistical nightmare 2 manage a process where we trade in our "old" iPhone 4 a new subsidized one. - Liana Lehua

Doesn't make sense because they don't take other old phones when you upgrade to a new one. - Scott Cropper

I'm starting to think that a "writ of prima nocte" as part of this whole thing is not entirely out of line for the hoops you have to go through to get a new iPhone. On Monday, I was seriously considering eating an ETF and switching providers. Today, I'm not. Only reason is this type of silliness. Why can't I just get a damn phone? - Mark Trapp

I'm not believing any of these stories until someone from Apple or AT&T says them directly. You gotta wonder how these massive waves of FUD are always strategically released to combat the hype. - Bwana McCall

@Bwana, it says "an AT&T spokesperson." - Steve Rubel

both AT&T and Apple need to get all these questions answered quickly and authoritatively - bad communication by both so far - Frederic

@Dave Winer - after reading your original post (on the HDD swap), I tried to get Apple to give me my HDD back after replacing it with a new one (as per the Apple Care agreement), but they refused to give it back to me. Said they needed it to get a warranty refund from the manufacturer. Hate that AAPL pwnd my data & busted HDD. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

AT&T reps were quoted before as saying in-store activation was false, until the AT&T official public relations statement contradicted it. An unamed spokesperson is about as reliable as an AT&T store or phone rep. They don't have a clue. I'm keeping the stance that it's all speculation until AT&T officially says its so. - Bwana McCall

Some are hearing this is untrue. http://tinyurl.com/5xlh72 - Steve Rubel

post has been clarified as wrong info now: http://weblogs.redeyechicago.c... - Thomas Hawk

The story was already corrected. You don't have to give up your old iPhone - Shahar Nechmad via Alert Thingy

@brian, mine wasn't even a warranty repair. I paid retail for a new replacement drive. A lot of companies are doing this these days. My mother upgraded her cable to HD, the installer made her give her a remote to take back with him. She gave him the remote for the TV so now there's no way to adjust the picture size on the TV. Disgraceful. - Dave Winer
