I think apple is making things hard if we don’t want the service we shouldn’t have to sign a stupid contract and get it activated I want to get an iPhone without the phone I want the features like camera that aren’t on the iPod touch! Help is their a way to just use it for the features and not the phone? Please help thanks

I just called a local Apple store and asked what becomes of the iPhone in the event that a contract is cancelled for any reason. The customer service rep explained that some features MIGHT not work because the iPhone would then enter an “unregistered” state. Of course MIGHT being the key word, i asked her to talk to someone who knows FOR SURE what will happen. She left and came back and said everything SHOULD work fine. This time I asked her to speak to her manager or whoever can give me a DEFINITE answer instead of MIGHT and SHOULD. She returned on the line after talking to somebody, and explained that an “unregistered” iPhone WILL still function in all areas other than placing calls, and of course there will be no EDGE service. My GUESS would be that all “unregistered” iPhone will work the same; all functions other than “phone functions” will work. Which in MY mind tells me it doesn’t matter if it’s unregistered because i never got a contract or I cancelled a contract. Any thoughts from anyone on this?

What about the two phone activation trick. Has anyone tried that.

Wouldn’t you have to give the iPhone back if you cancel service?

If you cancel within three days, you can even forgo the $50 prepay charge.

if you really think about it, the iPhone is a big competitor to the Nokia N800 even without the phone functionality! Price wise, both are relatively the same. Hmm, this will make a great side by side comparison. Ok, I’ll write it up!
