AT&T Wireless has finally gotten around to posting official pricing information about the iPhone 3G. Of particular note is a “coming soon” announcement of a contract-free iPhone 3G for $599 for the 8 gb and $699 for the 16 gb.
For those interested in buying an iPhone 3G for unlocking and use on another wireless network, some crucial terms of the process are still unclear. It’s possible AT&T will require buyers of unsubsidized iPhone 3Gs to activate phone service with AT&T in order to purchase the phone. This could put a damper on the very profitable unlocking business, but not completely destroy it.
