We have scheduled a late night encrypted chat session with Our Tech Guru (RCM) to discuss the merits of hopping on Apple's latest deal. In an effort to clear out its inventory of 3GS iPhones, The Sons of Steve Jobs are selling the phones contract free for $599. Now contract free means you don't have to deal with AT&T's well documented crappy service/coverage. That's the good news. However, that also means the phone comes locked -- as in it won't really work. Of course, even the worst techno geek in the world is familiar with jailbreaking. Jailbreaking allows a user to "illegally" program the phone to do things that the carrier does not want you to do. Only in this case, Apple intends to look the other way. So it comes down to this -- is $600 too much to pay for getting an iPhone minus the headaches that come with AT&T?!?

Yes. I've never had a problem with ATT (been my carrier for years), and I bought a 16 gig 3GS in August, WITH a three year service plan, for $380 TOTAL. Phone worked the minute I walked out of the store, and Apple transferred all of my contacts from my previous phone. Haven't looked back.
You're a woman -- they probably hooked you up in hopes you would date them. We would probably go in there and they would give us a crap phone with crap service!!!
Hey, need to use those up-front assets for something, right?
Ah, yes...it's all about the up front assets!
