Questions about upgrading

[Sparke]

I'm very interested in getting the Atrix, but I'm really confused about the upgrading thing. When I called in to ask about getting the Atrix for the $200 price, I was told that I could upgrade on March 14th. The reason I'm confused, though, is when I go to the AT&T website and go to "check upgrade options", select the Atrix press "learn more" it says the price for "due at checkout" is 200 for the preorder. Does this mean if I walk into an AT&T store on Tuesday I could get one for $200?

* If it helps, I currently have an iPhone 3GS (that I didn't buy from them but they added on the data plan), and I've been in a contract with AT&T for about a year.

I am due for an upgrade march 19. Online it says 399 for me at check out, but my att store said as long as I'm within 30 days of my contract completion I could get it for 199. The full upgrade price. My wife is the primary on our account and they let her upgrade 6 months early.

Is the upgrade within the month something you had to finagle them into agreeing to, or something they just do?

No it was a just somthing they offered. It may have just been their store because the first store I called wouldn't do it but they also told me the atrix wasn't getting released until march 17. So I think they didn't know what was going on. Just call around a couple stores in your area and if you need to ask to talk to a manager.

Okay, thanks. But since I already have the 200 dollar price in my cart do you think they'd give it to me at the store?

I'm not sure it wouldn't hurt to ask! With your contract so close I wouldn't see why someone wouldn't work with you.
