No specific details have been leaked, though there have been rumors that even AT&T might offer a subsidy on the upcoming 3G iPhone."<BR/>So with talk of multiple carriers in countries and subsidised handset prices, are we about to see Apple release their choke-hold over how networks charge for their device? It would certainly bring it in to being mainstream competition if they do.Jonathanhttp://www.mindthe.net/devices/noreply@blogger.com
