It was a retorical response to rickp who made the statement "You can buy the Iphone unlock if you buy direct from Apple and not AT&T." And believe me i understand the benefits of haveing an unlocked phone. In the past i had to explain those benefits to cell providers myself.
What your telling me is your buying the iPhone from Apple without the AT&T package unlocking it and using it with T-Mobile. That's fine. I'm just saying at this point because of all of the downsides to unlocking the phone, i don't see the benefit. Add to that using it with T-Mobile at least for me dosen't make it appealing either.
In your defense though AT&T isn't getting great reviews in some areas either. I guess that's why at this point i'm still with Verizon. I use to be with Nextel but they refused to give me a bargin on a new phone so I jumped ship.
In any event I hope it works for you.

I just bought another iPhone for my wife (who is on TMobile). I could have gone for a new TMobile phone for free but then they would have extended the contract another 2 years (no contract right now). So basically I paid $199 for the 4Gb (plus $100 Steve Jobs credit which is out today). Not a bad deal. Time to unlock and give it as a surprise gift to the CEO.
