how do HUPs work? do you pay upfront for the subsidized cost of the phone ($159+)? or does it get added to your regular monthly invoice?

more specifically with Fido do they just charge the $159 and call it a day or do they do some hokey stuff like in iPhone release years prior... charging $399+tx for the phone on the first invoice and then giving a credit of $200+tx on the third invoice. in the end you only ended up paying $199+tx for the phone but had to shell out the extra $200+tx for two months and then got it back later as a bill credit.

no idea how it works with fido, but when i did my HUP for rogers yesterday at the apple store, they just add it to my next bill. $159.99 for 16GB + $35 activation.

Especially the users who just signed a 3 year contract... they wouldn't be able to get one unless they bought it outright.

^actually maybe not...

every year when the iphone came out there has been an upgrade promotion..as long as you upgraded to a smartphone for at least 3 months...or some period of time (usually pretty short). they'll let you early upgrade again

like...i just got an x10 in april...yet for some reason i'm eligible for the iphone 4 at the new customer price.

White does look nice. Another benefit is it's easy to find when it's pitch black or lights off in the room

Is it cheaper to do a HUP than just resign a new 3yr contract?

Strange.. My friend says there's an early HUP fee if you do choose to. And that Rogers isn't really allowing HUP for the iPhone 4.
