I know currently the iPhone 4 is available for $649 from Apple, and will soon be $549 according to the Apple Store website.

Is there a chance that the 4S will be available for the $649 price unlocked like the 4 is now?, and I can slide a T-Mobile Micro-SIM inside? Yes I know the limitations on T-Mobile, and EDGE, etc.

I would prefer to keep by $188 a month for five lines, with four of them being smartphones + Unlimited Minutes. This is the only reason why I went to T-Mobile, and if I can get the 4S unlocked from Apple for $649, then I am set. Otherwise, I will just buy the iPhone 4 unlocked for $549.

Also, how does one get FaceTime to work on an unlocked phone like this without jailbreaking it? One would think that because it is officially unlocked from Apple, FaceTime wouldn't be an issue!
