Doesn't mean a thing! I have been having HUGE problems with my 8125 lately and my contract isn't up until late October. I called today, just to figure out how to get a working handset, and was told that with the iPhone, I could effectively upgrade ANYTIME since it isn't subsidized. I'll still have to sign a new two year contract, but I can do it tomorrow or next month or anytime! I'm off work next Tuesday, and if I don't have a chance to go iPhone shopping Saturday - I will then!
If you are waiting until your contract runs out - you don't have to
