what ive heard from some "friends" in the states is, apple is smiling, they are selling thousands of units outside of the AT&T deal. they knew it was going to happen, and everytime they plead for us not to crack the phone, they are only doing that to keep their deal with AT&T happy. wouldnt surprise me if on the every new release the apple dudes sit around in a dark basement , "ok what doors have we left open, there must be at least 3 open, but dont tell anyone". hey its all about money isnt it
