Beware AT&T: First time phone buyer? You will get a great deal with AT&T $129 for the AT&T Tilt and 2-year contract. But wait...you are 10 year customer with a two year update available on your current phone. AT&T wants $400 up front for a new Tilt and 2-year contract. Take a look at their upgrade prices pasted right of their website for loyal customers below. Is that how you want to be treated? Is this even legal? If you like to have the latest and greatest phone AT&T will take you to the bank and beyond every 2 years...stay away.
