[QUOTE="cptkrf, post: 1627923, member: 134861"] I only use a phone to make the occasional call, rather than a social device, so my old 3gs is perfectly good for me. (Yes, that is true. I swear. I really don't walk across busy streets or drive though crowded parking lots with my face planted in the glass.) So I don't pay a lot of attention to that line of Apple products. I am trying to purchase a phone for a young woman who Will probably attach it to her body permanently. So, I want a non-contract unlocked iPhone. No problem, Apple sells one apparently. Unfortunately, the young man at the Apple bar had left his genius pills at home that day. His answer to my question why the unlocked phone is branded T-Mobile was that "Yes, it is T-Mobile and unlocked, unless it isn't, but it might be locked, unless it might not be, in which case the phone is semi-locked." If I look at the Apple store on line, there is an option for an unlocked phone, but the click-button says T-Mobile. My question is, if it is truly unlocked and non-contract, why the connection with a phone company? Any iPhone gurus got an answer? [/QUOTE]
