Apple employees at the New York, Fifth Avenue Apple Store have confirmed with Fortune that customers can now purchase as many iPhones as they want without an AT&T contract.
All U.S. Apple stores have adopted the new policy in what seems to be a ploy to empty supplies of the iPhone 3G before the expected introduction of a new iPhone in June.
Those with the desire to purchase an iPhone, sans contract, will have to plunk down $599 for the 8GB iPhone 3G and $699 for the 16GB iPhone 3G. With a contract, the prices are $199 and $299 respectively.

Telkomsel Indonesia launched iPhone to a packed crowd queueing to buy. Most of those people would not qualify for a contract plan (they're not long-term AND corporate customers of Telkomsel) and would have to purchase non-contract, which were Rp 9,605,000 (US$ 835) and Rp 11,205,000 (US$ 974) respectively for 8GB and 16GB models. ;-<

How are you going to use the phone without service? Even if you "unlock" the phone, you are still paying service to a carrier. Might as well get an iPod touch.

If you purchase them WITH a plan, how much are they plus the minimal plan requirements?($69.99) * 24 months =$1679.76+$199+$36=Subtotal = $1914.76That's with only 8 GB, only 450 anytime minutes, 5000 night and weekend minutes, and no texting. Sucks.Maxed out it's($129.99+$20) * 24 months=$3599.76+$299+$36=subtotal = $3934.76That's with 16 GB, Unlimited anytime minutes, Unlimited night and weekend minutes, and unlimited texting. $3934.76 - $599 = $3335.76.So with the money you save over two years you can buy a Mac Pro!Makes the $599 seem acceptable, huh?
