I wouldn't recommend buying the iphone if you don't have data plan just because it's such a data intensive device. If you have constant wi-fi no matter where you go, I can see how the no data plan could be a mimimal problem, but you would have to be conscious of turning off any data services (push e-mail, exchange server, IM, maps, mobileMe, etc.) every time you left the range of a hot spot, otherwise the phone would automatically switch to 3g and you would wind up getting charged per kb. So if you do manage to score a non-contract iphone (right now, you can't buy one at either apple or at&t without signing up for a two year contract with a mandatory data plan) and just pop in your sim card, be wary of your wi-fi coverage.

That being said, if you are on AT&T and you put in a sim card from a different AT&T phone, I'm honestly not really sure whether or not you'd have to re-activate the phone in itunes or if it would just work as any other AT&T phone. I can tell you when I bought it, it came pre-installed with a SIM card and the minute the transaction went through, the AT&T sim card in my other phone deactivated and I was phone-less until I got home and activated the iphone on itunes. But I guess to answer your basic question, if just swapping in an AT&T sim card into an activated iphone works like any other AT&T phone, then no, you don't need a phone that's unlocked or jailbroken.

Hope that was clear. I'm a little scatterbrained right now. Take care.]]>Jul 18th 2008 1:21PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/17/iphone-dev-team-says-pwnage-tool-wont-unlock-iphone-3g-for-now/Jul 18th 2008 9:00PM
