He could buy one, and cancel the contract immediately...or just try Ebay. You would then need to buy a RebelSim http://rebelsimcard.com/virtu/ to unlock it. The whole thing is going to cost you about $850...
 
How can i deactivate the contract?
what do u mean it will cost that much? will i pay for the contract?
 
Yea, the $175 is straight across the board for US cell phone providers. I'm going to be canceling my verizon account to get the iPhone 3G :D
 
The iPhone 3G will soon be available at a NO contract price. But you'd have to wait for that.

As for canceling the account, they're not letting you these days, until you have passed at least the 30-day mark.
 
Local CRAIGSLIST

Look for CRAIGSLIST in any web browser in or near your city. This is a localized buy/sell site. You can find an iphone under "electronics"...when in the electronics setion, search for "iphone". This should give you some local ads... buy in person that day.
