you can't, you have to sign a contract to be allowed to have one.

In the US it seems that it will still be sold without signing an at&t plan at the store.

Requires new 2-year AT&T rate plan, sold separately.

I think you can buy it without a contract like this one.
I think you can buy 5 pieces of iPhone but I don't know what will be with this 3G iphone...

We'll see...

apparently the new iphone will only be available in-store at AT&T or Apple and will require activation as part of the purchase. this question was specifically asked by an analyst at the new conference. no online purchases at all

People will still find a way to buy/sell them.

I remember when the first iphone was announced and everyone was mad because originally everyone said only AT&T would be selling the phone... then it turns out apple sold them on their website as well... not to mention all of the sales (especially after the unlock) on ebay.

Bummer... I'm actually on AT&T but refuse to pay the extra $30/month for data service that hasn't been rolled out within 300 miles of me. Looks like I'll be sticking with my current model and the wife won't be getting one for awhile.
