Nope - I can tell you that Apple and ATT are doing this on purpose(and this is straight from an ATT employee). They are limiting shipments to keep the buzz going on the Iphone. It is as simple as that. Limited quantities, means that they can keep the price of the phone at the current level...
You are not shoehorned into $30 data! I had a friend who got out of the data plan after the first month when he sold his phone.
Did they change their policy recently because I know plenty of people who did this.
Couldn't resist and pre-ordered in white. Depending on what's exactly in the new iPhone and T-Mobile offerings, I may cancel since I don't really intend to switch to AT&T.
Only thing giving me hesitation is the lack of a class-leading cam and no xenon flash. I can live with the processor.
