AT&T: No-contract iPhones coming next week
I have no desire to ever own an iPhone but I know many of you out there do. I found this article online and thought I’d share. I do think it’s pretty dumb though that the phones will still be “locked.”
AT&T has confirmed a report that it will offer iPhones without a two-year contract starting next week.
The Associated Press quoted an AT&T representative Thursday confirming plans to sell no-contract iPhones for $599 or $699 starting next Thursday, as first reported Wednesday by the Boy Genius Report. There’s a catch, however; those phones will still be locked to AT&T’s network.
A regular AT&T iPhone account will be required to operate the phone, although theoretically you could activate the phone one day, cancel your account the next, and only be out activation fees and a month’s worth of service, rather than two years worth of service. But then you’d be reduced to using your expensive iPhone over just Wi-Fi networks unless you’re willing to unlock it for other networks.
An Apple representative did not immediately return a call seeking comment on whether a similar offer would be in place at Apple’s retail stores, which the AP was also unable to confirm.

Oh my God that’s so cool, except that I am happy with my regular cellphone, but still is cool; Darkly you are right some clothes are really unflattering but there was a series of images that I saw here you can see her face was chubby and others from the festival suddenly the chubby face was gone. But still it was only a light article to remark something that the media hasn’t said.
I don’t see the big deal about iPhones. I have a regular crappy Virgin Mobile cell and it works just fine.
I think we as a a society can get by without being able to google something while walking out on the street. Just sayin’.
