I have yet to hear about how and when Apple is going to unlock iPhones from owners that are paying a 2 year contract, or have paid the stiff cancellation fee. Any one wonders what is going to happen at the end of the 2 year obligatory contract, or down the road on the AT&T contract, cancelling and paying the fee ? Apple and/or AT&T should be ordered by law to unlock iPhones.
Not going to happen. T/C's for iPhone activation via iTunes state that service is subject to AT&T credit approval ONLY. There is ONLY an agreement between Apple and AT&T for the iPhone. Period. Apple doesn't have to unlock any of these devices.
Read your freakin' customer agreement and stop whining.

Neither Apple nor at&t have a responsibility to unlock the phone for anyone, at any time, or for any reason.
in uk though, isn't it different?
isn't the right to get the phone unlocked over there a right you can't waive away? once the contract is up, or you've paid the cancellation etc..
though apple could argue that the isn't general network compatible due to visual voicemail...
