its expensive but cheaper option than the outrageous Vodarape charges..

so its possible that some 3G iPhone may find their way from here or other "free market countries" to the US and other markets where the thinking is screw the consumer. (we also get screwed just via data charges rather than locked into long-term contracts)

By law all they can ask for is $175. They made the subsidized price $225 lower than the full retail price, which is probably close to their wholesale price. Sure, some people will do it, but between selling it with contract for the higher price and losing customers or having a few get an iPhone cheaper than retail it's a no brainer. Plus, AT&T isn't that worried about it since Verizon and Sprint are CDMA and T-Mobile 3G is still fledging and will not be compatible with the iPhone's channels.

BTW, you can cancel your contract before the 30-days. just say it's broken or lost, don't return it to the store and you're out of your contract that much sooner.]]>Jul 17th 2008 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/
That's potentially a bad idea. At least here in Europe on our cell-networks, when you turn on a phone, it also tells the telecompany it's unique ID (serial number or something like that). Which means that if your phone gets stolen, they'll naturally lock the SIM card and send you a new one, but they can also look up (if you don't know the serial number or they don't have it on record) which phone was last used with your SIM card and brick the phone in question.

I don't know if this is done in America, or if it actually bricks the phone, or just blacklists it, but I sure as hell wouldn't take my chances on saying I'd have my phone stolen and hoping to be able to use it afterwards.]]>Jul 17th 2008 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/]]>Jul 17th 2008 8:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/Jul 17th 2008 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/Jul 17th 2008 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/-Taylor]]>Jul 17th 2008 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/Jul 17th 2008 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/-Taylor]]>Jul 17th 2008 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/Jul 17th 2008 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/Jul 17th 2008 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/Jul 17th 2008 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/Jul 17th 2008 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/
According to the Oxford American Dictionary, the word "erstwhile" means "former" (I used to think it meant "hardworking" for some reason too). So unless the Dev Team gave up hacking, they are not erstwhile hackers!]]>Jul 17th 2008 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/Jul 17th 2008 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/

My boss has a legitimate, activated iPhone (first gen), and it only accepts the iPhone SIM it was activated with, not his other ATT sims. My iPhone is unlocked and i can use my normal ATT sim (bought my iphone without extending my contract, heh).
