Exactly... Apple gets their money up front. In that case, they should be promoting the hell out of the iPhone and selling as many as possible.
My big question is: what will be the deal with the no-commitment iPhones (the ones that they are eventually planning to sell for $600 for 8 GB one and $700 for 16 GB one)? Will they be truly unlocked and capable of being used with any carrier out of the box, or will you still need to sign up with AT&T, just without a contract and free to cancel any time without having to pay ETF?

Re: Apple's tactics

I doubt it.
I think the 'difference' is:

1. Retail (for those not eligible for upgrade subsidy) +$400 still requires contract
2. Black market locked (i.e. AT&T) - still need to use AT&T service, I suspect contract will not be needed (how can they ?)
3. Black market unlocked - won't get 3G service in the U.S. (no other carrier uses UMTS 850/1900 yet.. Cincinatti Bell should be soon). T-Mobile uses AWS spectrum - not compatible. You'll max at EDGE speeds, might as well get a iPhone 1.0
