you mean there will be opening to buy solely iphone without signing any contract sooner or later in the future?
it was, and it will
currently it is forced to becoz the supply they acquired is insufficient to meet all demand
choosing between contract and no-contract, of coz they will go for contract customer
those are the people who not just get the phone, but continuing subscribe to their service, a consistent income source
whereas outright purchase of phone only is....phone only.
u can wait til the demand ease down....or just buy the iPhone 3G 8GB
bcoz by the time u waited, may b it is next round they release iPhone 3GX/4G
3Gs will become wat iPhone 3G is today
