The thing is, despite all the racket about 3g, it was something that was going to be inevitable. It was only going to be a matter of time, especially if Apple planned to sell it overseas. Customers probably pushed it, but the iPhone 3G's popularity may just well be responsible for AT&T making network improvements in general. It would make sense to say that companies were waiting for 3g to mature in the US to introduce more 3G phones, but that wouldn't really happen until more people adopted it...you get the idea. Also, I'm surprised that your situation happened. I don't know much about upgrading and subsidies for AT&T, but in January? I guess that would mean you bought a subsidized phone back then?
