iphone 3g uses whine about upgrade

so there is an article over at Gizmodo telling iphone 3G owners to stop whining about the iphone upgrade price. Apparently in the US you could get the iPhone 3G on a 2 year deal. I would love that - but when I got my iphone last year it was 3 years or nothing. I have no qualms with paying the $299 price for the new phone, it's the contract part that frosts my lizard. At this rate, I won't be able to get a new phone without penalty until iphone 5 is released in 2011. This of course assumes that Apple pumps out a new model of these wonder devices each and every year.
