New internal documentation has surfaced confirming that Apple is now allowing sales of the iPhone 3G 8GB and 3G S 16/32 without the need for an existing or new AT&T service agreement. However, anyone who does decide to do so will be limited to one iPhone purchase per day and the devices are still locked to AT&T.
Pricing for the models purchased without an agreement stands at $499 for the 8GB iPhone 3G, $599 for the 16GB iPhone 3GS, and $699 for the 32GB iPhone 3G S.

There’s no 3G on anything but AT&T, so the lock isn’t even such a big deal unless you’re an international traveler.
But hey, at least they kind of throw you a bone — as long as you ignore that the 32GB iPad with 3G is only $30 more than the comparable iPhone
