iPhone 4S: is it unlocked when you get it at a store?

1	I'm thinking of getting a 4S, but I have to wait for an unlock to buy it. Is it unlocked when you get it at a Sprint/Verizon/AT&T store, since it is a world phone. verizon unlocked 4s t-mobile att iphone sprint asked Oct 24 '11 at 17:40 DJ Scooby Doo 9.5k●232●279●379

Is it only at their site or can you buy it at the Apple Store as well?

Both Online or Apple Store

and WHY is it twice the price??

It's off a contract.

The companies subsidize the price on contract, but I might just wait for an unlock, but since i am really desperate, I can wait for the unlocked iPhone to come out at the Apple Store.

The answer is no as far as I know. Why not get a new two year contract and get the phone for 200-400 dollars? An unlocked iPhone cost over 800 dollars from Apple.

Thanks, but do you think its cheaper to get an unlocked one from Apple in a different country?
