Device only purchase question

[Beaverman3001]

Will they sell the sprint models as device only in store, and if so is it unlocked like the verizon/tmobile model so it can be used on ATT? I assume not but my local store seems to have lots of sprint models on hand and nothing else.

I was told by Apple staff at the Stanford, Palo Alto, CA store that AT&T, Verizon, and T-mobile are unlocked as device only purchases. Sprint is locked regardless of device only or on contract. Not sure what makes sprint different. I also seem to be able to find Sprint in my area. The others are sold out.

Sprint sucks! It is worthless, and will not work with anything but Sprint.

Thanks for the info, that is what I assumed, oh well. Back to refreshing stock pages
