if you want an unlocked iphone, you can either purchase an AT&T or T-Mobile FULL PRICE, but it has to be done at an Apple Store

they will come factory unlocked, REGARDLESS of what the employees there may tell you.....if they tell you its locked but contract-free, they are WRONG because it has already been confirmed by members on macrumors

I would recommend getting the ATT, since I dont think T-Mobile versions are available at Apple Stores.......yet

T-Mobile contract free is not unlocked. There are a few posts in here where people got T-Mobile contract free and found out it's locked to T-Mobile. In fact if you go to Apple online store you will see that T-Mobile wording no longer includes unlocked.

restore it in iTunes first so you get the "congrats youre iphone is unlocked"

I am not sure about AT&T. I have read here that some have success getting unlocked AT&T from the AT&T stores for full price.

the phones sold at the ATT store are locked, even at full price. well most att stores won't sell you a device only without contract.

Best bet is apple store.
1] Device only, full price
2] usb restore thru iTunes
3] tada
