Ok so I bought a 3G last Friday (less than a week ago) and have just decided after messing around on it that I would much rather have a bigger faster 3GS. Will the store give me any issues exchanging it? Do I still have to pay 10% restocking fee? I have all the stuff it came with and it's in brand new shape and will be restoring software to clear the contacts and messages and stuff... thanks for any help!

As long as it is within the 30-day trial window, they will certainly let you exchange it.  And just as certainly, they are going to charge you the 10% restocking fee.

 

For what it's worth though, I'm loving my 32GB 3GS!

There have been reports that some store managers are waiving the 10% restocking fee when you are upgrading to a larger iPhone.

My buddy did this, and he didn't have to pay the 10% restocking fee.

yah i also did this myself. i had the iphone 2G when the vibrate function deciced to go out around the same time that i was do for an upgrade anyways. i purchased the 16gig iphone 3G and found out about 2 two days after that the 3GS was coming out mid june so i went into the store and they advised that it would not be a problem. the only thing that sucked about my situation though was that at&t would not return the 3G that i had bought initially until the day i picked up my reserved iphone 3GS so at one point i had owned 3 iphones but only had two in my possession. hahah i was not charged a restocking fee however i also had not opened up my 3G iphone packaging so i am not quite sure how your at&t store may handle the whole restocking charge but they definitely should not have any problem doing the return as long as you are within your thirty days of original purchase. i hope this helps.
