Some of the details surrounding AT&T's iPhone prices make little sense, writes Eric Benderoff. The company will sell a 3G iPhone with no contract for a $400 premium. Unlocked phones aren't uncommon, but that $599 iPhone will only be unlocked from a contract, not from the carrier -- it'll still have to use AT&T. Why not just buy the $199 version and pay the $175 early contract termination fee?
