IJust wondering who else chose to purchase their iPhone this way and why rather than getting it subsidised on a contract?

I'm asking partly out of curiosity, and partly because it'll be somewhat reassuring to know there are other nutters out there like me who also spent £600 on a new phone :eek: :D

A very small (but vocal on the internet) percentage of people by it completely unlocked --- the original French iphone carrier stated something like 5% (and that's accounting people who bought those iphones and sell them outside France at the time).
