Well we all you that this day would eventually come. BGR is reporting on March 26th AT&T will begin to offer the iPhone 3G with a no-commitment price as well as no in-store activation. Something to keep in mind, this all comes to us at a very steep price of $599 for the 8 GB [...]
We’ve had our fair share of gripes and complaints about AT&T here at TiPb but we don’t give them enough credit for trusting Apple and letting them go wild with the iPhone. Sure, they may be out to squeeze every dollar from their customers, but few carriers would even imagine giving Apple the freedom to [...]
figure 1: AT&T has made some changes to benefit customers out of enlightened self-interest.
In news that should please anyone on AT&T, and if you have an iPhone, odds are good that this is you, AT&T is making consumer-friendly changes to how they do things. First, AT&T announced that they will begin pro-rating termination fees. [...]
Mark Rasch, a law-talkin’ guy, analyzed the iPhone contract in depth (print). For anyone worried about the legal consequences of modifying their iPhone, this could be worth a read.

The equipment to do so apparently cost $96 US, and we can apparently expect a Gizmodo post later today once they verify that [...]
The results are in: we’ve been owned. Wired had a EULA lawyer from the EFF to analyze the binding contract for anyone that has activated an iPhone. Your contract, like any other cell phone contract anyone ever agreed to, is hilariously long and screws you six ways to Sunday. [I Agree]
Bit by bit, information is coming out on how the syncing will work, and what it means to have to activate the iPhone before you can use it.
First, AT&T’s return policy has changed: you now only have 14 days to try it out (it used to be 30 days). There’s now also a 10% [...]
The iPhone is heavily rumored to be unsubsidized at all by AT&T. But, if you cancel service on your iPhone contract after a certain period (a month?), you’ll still have to pay AT&T a $175 contract breakage fee, they claim
“There are certain fixed costs we incur in serving every customer who establishes service with [...]
