So I have been looking for an iphone 5 device only 16 g att white for 2 weeks now so that its unlocked because i have tmobile, but no apple stores currently has it in the OC. My friend who bought the same one i wanted on the first day it came out told me that the price of an off contract at an apple store for a 16g att white iphone 5 was roughly 700. I was wondering if best buy, walmart, or the att store sold off contract device only iphones also, and if they do, are they unlocked? there is another thread stating that a person bought it from walmart off contract(didn't state whether it was unlocked or not) and payed 700 for it. This person was complaining but I was wondering why since the apple store sells it for 700 too. The person apparently ended up getting a refund after showing an add saying it was 650 so is the iphone 5 cheaper off contract at stores other than apple?
 
The Apple store sells the 16GB 5 for $649 - with tax around $700 - Radio Shack, Best Buy and WalMart sell it for $699 - with tax, over $750.

I hope that clears the numbers up for you.

thanks, cleared up a lot but do you know if its unlocked at other stores like walmart, bestbuy, or radioshack?
 
Apparently, walmart, target, bestbuy, and radioshack all dont sell off contract device only iphone 5's in the OC :( and apple stores are all sold out....
