Hi All,

I recently won an iPhone and should be receiving it soon. I've been looking around the internet and it looks like the only way I will be able to use my phone is if I buy a 2 year contract for a minimum price of $1,440. With the current budget that is not feasable at all, but I've got to believe that after buying a $400-$600 piece of equipment you have to get some carrots without having to spend another $1,440 to be able to activate/use it. It has WI-FI, the iPod, useful applications aside from the phones, and the capability to sync with my pc, camera, etc. We have WI-FI at my house and just about everywhere in town so I was hoping that until I could afford the monthly fee I'd be able to use at least some of my phone. But everything I read states the contrary unless I want to do something like sign up for a two year contract and cancel within a few days so that I get a complete refund.

Is there any way to activate this phone without signing up for that contract?

Thanks!
Nate
