iPhone SDK Beta/iTunes Connect Contracts Extended to July 11
The Situation: Developers who signed up for Apple’s iPhone SDK Beta and iTunes Connect program last year are coming up on their 1 year renewal deadline.
The Problem: Apple has no mechanism in place to handle such renewals.
The solution: Er… there is none — yet. But in the meantime, Ars Technica’s Erica Sadun reports:
Apple has now e-mailed iPhone developers to extend their memberships until July 11, 2009. A short-term solution to the problem is good, but it shows that Apple is still working out the longer-term details.
Here’s hoping them details get worked out soon rather than later.

why would you want them to resolve this sooner than later? I for one am quite happy with apple extending my contract without me having to pay another 100$

i think the iphone uses a special sim card… my friend had a first generation iphone and he switch after a year to the bold and he had to get a new sim card… hopefully that helps you
