the stated prices are on 2yr agreements...you will have to activate in store this time around...no more buy now, activate later shenanigans...both apple and carrier stores will require you to activate/enroll on the spot with the provider of the country you are living

iPhone 3G will be activated at point of sale when the device is purchased in store.
Return period has been changed from 14 days to 30 days
$199 and $299 pricing is for new activations or qualified upgrades with a 2-year agreement
2G iPhone data rate plans will remain available for 2G device suntil further notice
The new iPhone 3G data plan is $30/month and includes unlimited data and visual voicemail
There is not a no commitment price. This means you can’t just walk in and bang $500 on your credit card and walk out.
If you are an existing iPhone customer in good standing, you will be able to extend your contract for two years when the iPhone 3G launches and get the ill-na-na $199/$299 price point. Doesn’t matter when you bought an iPhone either.
AT&T and Apple stores “unbrick” the iPhone 3G at time of purchase, but for some reason if that doesn’t happen, you’ll be required to use iTunes at home.
Pre-paid and Pick Your Plan will not be allowed on iPhone 3G
Device purchase limit remains at (3) per customer in AT&T stores.
2G iPhones to remain as demo models in AT&T stores “until further notice”.
AT&T stores will get rate brochures, 22 x 28 posters, and window banners
Launch day will mirror last year’s launch. This includes extended store hours, crowd controls, etc. Security will be provided to stores requesting armed police or guards.
AT&T is working with Apple to roll out GPS-enabled applications.

i believe u can use that feature while connected....either wifi or the service provider's network. but wifi is not avaialble everywhere so you loose.
i have an iphone that i am using with rogers and for connectivity, i rely on a wifi signal only...no EDGE for me..unless i pay 5 cents / KB

as this unit stands unlocking is unknown but i'm sure they locked down things a little better than last time. But the devs are pretty good at cracking things and if the pwnage tool is able to crack the release version of 2.0 like the beta versions than its promising
