Exactly. Its just like Verizon and any other provider. They did not do it with the first iPhone and finally got smart that they can rope people in for 2 years and give them a discount on the phone.

I am pretty excited. I am still stuck on dealing with Verizon and waiting for the Android platform phones to start being released later this year or jump ship and grab the 3g iPhone
