No, not possible.
Every subsidized iPhone that AT&T sells on contract is locked. AT&T does not unlock iPhones.

If you buy an unlocked iphone, why would you want to be in contract with AT&T? The point with unlocked iphone is so that you can use the iphone freely with any GSM carrier without being in a contract.
I know some people buy an iphone with their upgrade then sell the phone for a good price and then buy an unlocked iphone, technically you wold be under contract if you do it that way.

Nope, but besides buying an unlocked phone, you can buy an AT&T iPhone at full price and it'll come unlocked. Not sure if there are any price differences between unlocked and AT&T 4S at full price though.
I guess since you're off contract, but given that the pricing would be the same for coverage I'm not sure what the real benefit would be.
Buy the unlocked phone, then also buy one from AT&T on contract. Sell the locked one. You should end up paying subsidized price plus around $100.
An unlocked phone would be used on AT&T in the us and other carriers abroad. And has better resale value.
Nope.
Once its on contract with AT&T is forever locked to them.
Unless something changes in the future but dont hold your breath on that.
