I definitely want to buy the iPhone 5 when it is released but I'd prefer to buy the device unlocked if possible. Has anyone heard anything about whether this will be offered or not?

Already been asked and answered as best as anyone knows.
LOL you just linked to this thread!
Won't be a problem here. Unlocked is a requirement, but it will probably be a week or two after the USA launch
Do you guys think the no-contract unlocked iPhone will be available day 1? Or will Apple give carriers a chance to lock people in first then release it later on?
I really hope I can pre-order the no contract iPhone cause quite frankly I am getting tired of AT&T and dropped calls so I don't want to get locked in to a contract in case I need to make a move in the next year (I would switch now but I have 2 other lines under contract)
Why not just pay no-commitment pricing? You don't need unlocked to avoid a 2-year contract.
And, BTW, at least for the iPhone 4, ETF + contract price < Unlocked price/no-commitment price
AT&T gives me the code upon delivery since I travel internationally and have been buying from them for years. It's a great free service. AT&T has been as good of an experience as Apple provides. I'm very satisfied.
