before you go and spend over $700 on an iPhone,  go to http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nnmm=browse&mco=A781465&node=home/iphone/iphone and buy one there for retail price, also call all of your local apple and cingular stores and make sure that they are sold out!!
