AT&T early cancellation terms:<br><br><strong>"Cancellations/Early Termination Fee</strong>: An Early Termination Fee of
<strong>$175</strong> may be assessed against you in the event that you terminate your Wireless
Service Agreement and/or selected plan before the expiration of its term. For Service
activated on or after May 25, 2008, the Early Termination Fee will be reduced by $5.00 for each
full month toward your minimum term that you complete. You may cancel your service, for any
reason and without incurring the Early Termination Fee, within thirty (30) days of signing your
Wireless Service Agreement, PROVIDED, however, that if you cancel service you will remain
responsible for any service fees and charges incurred. If you cancel within three (3) days of
signing your Wireless Service Agreement, you will be entitled to a refund of your activation
fee, if any. If you exercise this option, you may be required to return devices and associated
accessories purchased in connection with your Wireless Service Agreement."<br><br>Get a 2 year and cancel it the 31st day. The $175 from this and $35 for activation saves you $190 if you buy sans contract.<br><br>Well a little less if you count the cost of service...<br>
<br>If you must have the iPhone, get it in the way that you will get less screwed...<br><br>R/ Josh<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 1:30 PM, McCreery, Lee CTR DISA <<a href="mailto:lee.mccreery.ctr@pens.disa.mil">lee.mccreery.ctr@pens.disa.mil</a>> wrote:<br>

Other articles on the net estimate the cost to build the 3G is ~$220.<br>
That is depending on the article you read.<br>

$599 for iPhone without a two-year contract, but still locked to the<br>
network. Imagine what the "real" price would be (for a fully unlocked<br>
device).<br>
