Nope wasn't me. I got the original, sucked it up and kept the first release of the update.
I talked with a store rep and the guy said, if you have an old plan (mine is a Talk 25 from the 90's, per-second billing), you will have to buy the phone retail, outright if you want to keep it. So you will pay your $800 or whatever the phone costs.
They will not offer you the $159 deal, and sign on for 3 years. Bastards eh? They want you to give up the per-second billing, and the old plan. If that's the case, time to move to a competitor....
