Bear in mind, this just means you're not locked into a plan. AT&T will still activate the phone (and charge you) on their network prior to giving you the phone. Not sure what implications this will have on hacking the phone.
I'd say it gets hacked just like the old one so you can put any sim in it
In NA its pretty pointless since the only 3d the iphone can use is AT anyway, in europe its a bit more useful

That's correct; however, the new subsidy that AT&T has to pay Apple is being recouped in their revised/higher rate plan. The subsidy is supposed to be more lucrative for Apple than the previous revenue sharing agreement.

My Ride: 2005 bmw 530i titanium silver premium and cold weather packages.... ready to do some minor work and still keep it sexy
3g is so definately worth it... but if you don't want a contract then wait until there is a no commitment price and call it a day

I bought a HTC TyTn II (virtually the same as att tilt) in august/sept last year for $800
I've had 3g and gps, cut and paste, mms, tethering, bluetooth stereo, multiple email accounts, full keyboard, access to thousands of apps like tomtom sat nav
my phone still owns the 3g iphone
bmw 5 series = windows mobile/blackberry = business
toyota prius = apple = follower of marketing
next phone - http://www.sonyericsson.com/x1/?lc=en&cc=us

Owner since day one, and I truly believe there is no phone that really compares. And I don't care if some phones have voice guided GPS or 5mega pixel camera. The fact is the iPhone is the whole package. I'm still debating about 3g speed though, and if I want to upgrade.

I upgraded the other day and all I can says is... WOW. The difference in speed is night and day. The difference between driving an Accord and a 545. But the best thing is the Apps store where they have the coolest applications to download. Some you have to pay for, but lots are free. My favorite so far? The Vicinity App. I click the button and a GPS chip finds out instantly where I am, provides buttons for the history of the neighborhood, photos of landmarks, but best of all: a list of buttons like Cafes, Stores, Theatres, etc. I click one, like Cafes, and a list of all the nearby restaurants appears with phone numbers, addresses and web address. You click the phone number and it will call so you can order take out or make a reservation. The Apps are amazing and take the iphone to another level. it's not just a phone. It is a small, fast, mean computer that will simply your life. Oh, and you can also make calls on it. ;-)
