Re: Suprised! It was kind of a 'double' lock. Phones had to be registered through Apple (iTunes?) if I'm not mistaken.
Sounds like there was a bit of a power struggle on this one.
AT&T wants the cool phone (sans 3G thanks to Apple), and locks the WiFi to require AT&T subscription.
Apple wants revenue from both iTunes and hardware sales, and requires registration through iTunes.
While I don't agree with this not being a 3G phone, I do like that it is GSM, and usable worldwide. A CDMA variant would be good in the US/Canada/South Korea/Mexico and a few other places. Face it.. GSM globally has 2.5billion subscribers, CDMA 387 million. More than a 6:1 advantage by population.
