I called At&t today about setting up a new contract,Anyway the sales guy told me the
8GB without a contract retails for $700.00!!! I could not believe this. he did not know what the 16GB was going for.

I don't know how accurate his price is but he seemed very sure.

that sounds very accurate!

add to that the 3g iPhone won't work with T-Mobile USA's 3g network!

the iPhone 3g will not have a no contract price from AT&T or Apple Stores

Cant you just walk in as a brand new customer?
Buy the 8G for 199 with two years contract....a few weeks later..cancel the subscription..take the 175 fine. That would just cost you 375bucks and taxes.

that'll probably be the cheapest way to do it for non at&T customers. unless they implement something to change that

[jakecigar]

you haven't read all the info!
at&t pays apple $325.. where do you think that will come from???
you pay $199.
you pay 175 standard cancelation.

nobody is going to give you that 325 off!

199+
175+
325=
699.

DO THE MATH!

You cannot purchase a iPhone 3G without signing a 2 year contract though. You can't purchase it for $700 and just walk out withing signing something.

That's just what the sales guy at At&t told me. How do you know different?

Because in the INTERNAL REPORT that was leaked by AT&T it said that there will be no non commitment price on the 3G iPhone.
It's pretty much common knowledge if you've been following info since the announcement date

Not to mention they wouldn't do that, especially now because of the in store activation requirement. What else would someone buying the phone without a contract do with it besides unlock it?

300th! lolololol

Ya'll seriously need to do your research before you post.

[pokekid]

not true what so ever. i was just in Att this morning and the regional manager was in there and he did not know anything more than what was said at WWDC. he said that they will most likely receive all the info the morning of july 11.
