I've upgraded my Iphone 3G and my girlfriends 3GS to iPhone 4 and am wondering if i can call at &t and get the old phones unlocked. Anyone done this? I know I can always jailbreak them, but would be nice to do it in a legal way if possible...
Got a tip for us?

"A lawsuit against Apple and AT&T over their exclusivity contract has been granted class action status, meaning it now includes anyone who bought an iPhone between June 29, 2007, and present day and signed up for AT&T service.
The heart of the class action suit, which was originally filed in October 2007, is whether consumers who entered the two-year contract with AT&T did so knowing that they were actually entering a de-facto five-year contract because that's what the AT&T-Apple exclusivity agreement has been reported to be.
Apple has never publicly stated how long its exclusivity contract with AT&T is, though a five year time period--first reported by USA Today back in 2007--was recently confirmed through court documents related to this case."
