Look for official unlocked iPhone 4’s at AT&T stores being sold without a contract. Expect to pay top dollar as you will not benefit by the subsidy that signing a contract provides. These iPhones are marketed as “device only” models. You are also given the option of swaping your device with one of these unlocked versions.

Prices of these official unlocked devices will be either $749 or $649 depending on the model you choose. When you activate this unlocked iPhone you are able to use it with any GSM network provider.

The unlocked iPhone is available in either the black or white version and there is no indication of the quantity that will be available. If you buy one of these devices you will need to cut the SIM to size to fit. Also be aware that your EDGE data speed will be limited. Still given the number of choices available to you with an unlocked device and the money you can save is even a better benefit.

This news of official unlocked devices may indicate that Apple feel confident that they have disabled the exploit currently being used to unlock the iPhone. The current exploit relies on using saved SHSH blobs to restore to previous firmware versions allowing you to unlock. While this has been the method of choice lately to unlock there will, more than likely, be other exploits that are discovered and used. But if not then it is good to know that Apple is providing a solution of their own.
