You can purchase the iPhone (via eBay) and run executables against the firmware to "unlock" the phone for different providers. How it's done and difficulty of job are things I have no idea about.

honeslty it's not hard at all... i did mine and i was surprised at how easy it was. Keep in mind i did it for the First Firmware. You dont need to buy it form Ebay just go to the sotre and do everything yourself

My gf has the iPhone on TMo.

Not much complaints as far as service, same as it was with her previous phone (not the greatest). Battery life = daily charge.

You would need to talk to other iPhone/AT&T owners in your neck of the woods for more accurate representation.
