A special thanks to commenter "tamade" for pointing out the obvious. Since AT&T's unlocked iPhone 3Gs will cost you $599 (8GB) or $699 (16GB), you are better off signing a contract and canceling it than buying an unlocked iPhone. In fact, it's even cheaper to buy a 16GB iPhone using this method than to buy and unlock an 8GB version. But math isn't our strong suit so go ahead and double-check our calculations. We won't be offended:
$299 - 16GB iPhone w/contract $36 - Activation $175 - Early Termination Fee $70 - One month of service Total Price Using The Shady Method: $580 So... 8GB iPhone Canceled: $480 16GB iPhone Canceled: $580 8GB iPhone Unlocked from AT&T: $599 16GB iPhone Unlocked from AT&T: $699 http://gizmodo.com/5021186/dont-buy-an-unl...-a-new-contract |

besides, after this highlighting news,, i guess AT&T is also aware of that and for sure coming up with something to counter back this.
