18% of iPhones Unlocked?
According to Apple (and engadget.com) they have sold 1.4 million iPhones so far. But the interesting thing is that 250,000 of them are NOT registered for use on AT&T’s network. That is a lot of unlocked iPhones!
Are they all being used in the States on T-Mobile or are people buying them and shipping them overseas to places where Apple has yet to launch the iPhone? Likely the latter is my guess.
I wonder how much an iPhone costs Apple to make. I wonder if they lose money if they fail to get the rev-share from AT&T?

I think I read that Apple also counts the units shipped to AT&T stores as “sold”. Maybe there are 250,000 phone laying around in these stores? ;-)
