    Oh! I thought its a joke! Who would pay $800 for an iPhone when there are many other ways to buy it at a cheaper price?

    Not worth it for sure

    I went to my corporate sales agent at AT&T and they have never heard of buy.com before. They said that all of there corporate customers use a company named American Wireless for the unlocked phones, so we ended up using them. They also offered us $200 off the iPhone if we went with a new T-Mobile contract and since we were going to be going with T-Mobile any way we jumped on that option.
