unlock for iphone5 is not available yet and dont expect for another 3 to 6 months ..so its not good idea to buy one for now i guess.

but you can get iphone 4 or iphone 4s anytime as the unlock is available

is cheaper because you have to sign up for a 2 year (or so) commitment with monthly payments. So you don't have alot of choice but to buy the seemingly more 'expensive' phone off plan.

Never Buy iPhone Contract based from Mobile Companies like AT&T, Verizon... Buy off Contract ones no need to wait for Unlock who knows maybe Unlocked will not release or it will take time...

Better buy Off Contract ones....
