edit: not taking into account costs like tax, shipping, etc.

the lesson here is: DONT download firmware updates if your iPhone is unlocked

Since At&t is the only GSM network in the states, it's pretty useless to unlock the phone, right?

I can't remember if any of those newer companies are GSM or not. (T-mobile, etc..)
