Unsubsidised means that the carrier does not subsidise the price. But all phones sold by Apple in the USA are locked to AT&T and in the UK to O2.

Luckily we have the Dev Team working to help us out on that

The price after tax ain't worth it. I'll go the early termination route.

I had no idea you could just pick up a full price phone ala the first gen phones. You couldn't do that for 3g could you?

^It would mean you arent eligible for an upgrade with AT&T being a current customer with a contract. Not prepaid.

So wait a second, does this mean once they are released I can go to an apple store and buy one, without a contract, for full price? I thought with the 3G you could only buy it if you extended your AT&T contract, I didnt think you could just buy the phone.

I just want the phone, I don't care about the price

EDIT: Or is this the only time I could buy a 3GS without being an AT&T customer?

I ordered one. They only let you order one at a time apparently because I tried getting 3 and they said I had too many in my cart :P

And I plan on selling a few on eBay because I'm sure they'll be going for well above the $600-$700 that I paid if the last two years are any indication.

Ummm yeah, good luck with that.

If thats a true unsubsidized, non-contract price....then why would someone who could buy one from Apple for $700, want to buy one from you for more?? The reason they sold for more than retail before is because it was a contract discounted price.

So would this mean that we could get the iPhones like we could with the 1st gen, so buy the iPhone take it home and unlock it all without a contract?

So is this the only time we can buy the phone without an AT&T contract?! I want to know because if it's not, then I'll wait, but I don't wanna miss out on this deal!

Some people don't like wasting gas and time to drive somewhere. Some people don't like standing in line at a store. Some people don't like getting stuck with an incompetent service rep that can't figure out how to do what you want.

I guess some people don't know how to use a computer.

Oh and in case you forgot, you get to drive back to that store again to get your phone and wait in a ridiculous line. Enjoy the exercise, mine will be delivered to my door.

lol you're not very familiar with supply/demand economics are you? People will pay more because unless you're in line at ATT or Apple at 0dark30 on the 19th, you're not getting one for several weeks.

I made thousands off of PS3 and XBOX 360 release day sales. Same principle.
