As it announced last month, Apple is now officially selling the iPhone 4S unlocked and contract free in the U.S.A.

The unlocked iPhone includes all the features of iPhone but without a contract commitment. You can activate and use it on the supported GSM wireless network of your choice, such as AT&T in the United States. The unlocked iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S will not work with CDMA-based carriers such as Verizon Wireless or Sprint.

If you don't want a multiyear service contract or if you prefer to use a local carrier when traveling abroad, the unlocked iPhone is the best choice. It arrives without a micro-SIM card, so you'll need an active micro-SIM card from any supported GSM carrier worldwide. To start using it, simply insert the micro-SIM card into the slot on your iPhone and turn it on by pressing and holding the On/Off button for a few seconds. Then follow the onscreen instructions to set up your iPhone.

You can purchase the 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB unlocked iPhone 4S for $649, $749, and $849 respectively.

$649 for an unlocked 16GB?! Looks like I'll be going with the Samsung Galaxy S2.

Kind of pointless when you can't use it with other service provider and this is supposed to be unlock?

You can use it with any GSM carrier in the world. AT&T and Tmobile in the USA eg. What the hell are you talking about?

There we go. No more unlocking issues, just untethered jailbreaking. Dev-team, we're counting on you!

Yeah, but they charge for an arm and a leg.
