Even if the iPhone purchased directly from the Apple store is hackable, knowing it is coming locked into AT&T is not worth the full retail price. You might as well get a subsidized iPhone. I'd only pay full retail for an unlocked iPhone.

Same - I would rather 'spread out' the pain and save $400 up front. I am sure that AT&T will still force a data plan if you try and use the phone (only) through them with WiFi for data - that (or using a PrePaid AT&T plan) would be the only benefit to paying up front for the phone up front (saving $30/mo over 2 years is $720 +fees) or about half the price of difference.

no body cars abt "over there in canada" and no i brought an iphone from ebay use it on ATT they havn't forced anything on me...
-
what else you gonna do with the thing? go to tmobile?
-
I used iphone from the day firmware 1.0.1 came out. I used with att and t-mobile without data plan and I bought it from Apple Store but no one say a work that I need data for the iphone. I will pay 700 dollars plus tax for iphone which is unlockable and not for the one that is locked to ATT because I will bring it to oversea to use or give to my sister in Asia.

.... It's called spreading the news dude, A lot of the US problems going on arent an issue in Canada

that's so stupid. If it's in contract i understand it should be locked but when pay the full price for the phone and own the phone it should be usable to any network.

I think apple is trying to ge it of all remaining iPhones. Before the new phone co
es out this summer . the reason they're selling it locked it's because they don't give a F about what we think , they just care about making money -

In Thailand, an Asian Developing country, that is the same price of the Officially Unlocked iPhone sold at True, and now at DTAC.
-
it doesnt really matter since your still going to be stuck with AT&T what they should do is allow you to make it work with any sim, so that if your out of the country you dont have to worry about ruining it with a jailbreak
-
what a geek he said ruin it

what is subsidized???
-
I would buy an Iphone but i dont like the fact that apple forces me to go with ATT
