Looks like you did your homework, but few things to keep in mind:
1. Once you cancell your contract, you must return the phone before they cancell it (since you got a discount with a new 2 year contract). They will check the notes to see if you returned the phone.
2. Putting the old iphone sim card in the new iphone will not work, because the new iphone is not registered to that sim card, that is, unless you unlock the new 3g iphone.
3. As far as using the old data plan with the new 3g iphone data plan, thats not possible unless you figured out #2.

2. It works if you put an old SIM into a new 2G iPhone, so it's reasonable to speculate whether it'll work when put into a new 3G iPhone. No unlocking required, just activation via iTunes.

This new iphone will make the old ones obsolete. I expect to see plenty of cheap old iPhones to be on ebay soon.

wait i dont get all this data plan talk. i want to get a iphone and i checked att site, the cheapest plan you can get is 59.99 why are you guys talking about 20 dollar data plan and 30 dollar data plan?
you mean after you pay 60 dollars for the plan to get unlimited internet use and emailing you have to pay an extra 30 dollars a month?!!

You're looking here?

That's only for the old version of the iPhone. The $59.99 plan you're looking at is $39.99/mo voice + $20/mo data and 200 SMS.
The new 3G iPhone coming out next month will be the same $39.99/mo voice, but data will be $30/mo, and 200 SMS will be an extra $5/mo.

I don't think AT&T has posted the new plan on their comsumer website just yet, since the new iPhone won't be sold until July 11.
Here's a breakdown of the common wisdom, though:
Whatever voice plan you want ($39.99 being the cheapest)
$30.00/mo for 3G data (mandatory)
An optional $5/mo for 200 texts (I think it's $20/mo for unlimited texts). If you don't select a text plan, you'll got charged twenty cents for each received and sent text.
