IMO you don't need a 32gb, (even though I have over 30 gigs of music ripped on my hard drive, I don't need that much music all at once, I just reload).

Retail from the apple/att store you're talking $600 for the 16gb and $700 for the 32gb, so I don't know how rich you are, but I'd try to find it on craigslist or something for around $400-$500 for a retail iPhone 4.

Hope that helps.

Also they if you buy it retail from apple/att, they ensure you have att service when you buy it. So if you want to use a different GSM carrier, you will have to buy it 3rd party anyways.

Is this website legit?

http://www.unlockiphoneios4.com/

So you are saying once att activates it I cannot unlock, use on another carrier or jailbreak?

the site looks like they are selling carriier unlocks, which is complete BS, you will NEVER have to pay for a carrier unlock, the devs always release them for free.

I am not sure if you want to stick on ATT or not.

If you want to use a different carrier then do not buy from ATT or Apple, because they will make you sign a 2 year.

All iPhones come locked to ATT, but the carrier unlocks should be released this month free. i will update my jailbreak/unlock thread as soon as they are released.

if you want to use a different carrier, buy it from ebay, craigslist, or a friend (after the 24th) and then you can jailbreak and unlock it for tmobile or whomever you want.

I tried to do a search for Vodafone in the us but didnt see them.

The only benefit for Att is the price of the phone but u r saying it can still be unlocked and jailbroken but unlocking would be meaningless due to the 2 year contract, right?

exactly,

Tmobile is the only other GSM US carrier besides ATT. so if you are going to unlock it you have to find it from a friend/ebay/craigslist.

@Orangekid - OKay, I went to T-Mobile to find a no contract plan. Here is what i found out

2 lines - 1500 minutes with talk, text and web for 119.99 month plus add a line at $5.00 each with three lines = $135.00 month. He said the other 3 lines would share in the text, web, and talk. Doe this seem right to you and are you aware of any corp. discounts that they offer?

This is a way better plan than att or sprint

I have never done a corp account with anyone, nor had more than 1 line on any carrier at a time.

Currently I have the $60 a month unlimted web, text, and mobiel to mobiel iwth 500 anytime mins, which is better than any other carrier. And the tmobile coverge in my city is awesome.

Sorry i can't be more help as far as multiple lines and corp discounts go, but I would ask the same question of like 4 reps to ensure you get the best answers, often different reps say different things on ANY carrier.

Gotcha. Don't you think the folks at Apple pay attention to the web and might realize that an unlock has been developed though not released? And, if that was the case might they try to patch things up in iOS4?

it hasnt been released so they have no idea what to patch

edit:

since the 5.12.01 unlock was never released, I wouldn't be surprised if the exact same baseband exploit is in the iOS 4 baseband as well, which is why they never released the 5.12.01 unlock even though they probably had it months ago.

The T-Mobile rep stated that he thought iphones don't do well with web om tmobile. Is that your experience?

[orangekid]

no I have never had a problem with data on tmobile. The only issue is that you don't get 3G, only Edge and Wifi, but Edge does what I need it to on the iPhone, most apps are small and download fast, internet is still fast.

He probably said that so you'd be a tmobile phone :S
