Will the Europeans accept being forced into a contract with ATT? Ooops, I believe it's **ILLEGAL** over there...

No, Europeans have have been forced into a contract with the metric system which is a much more horrible fate than being saddled with AT&T. :)

Seriously O2 has been named the iPhone carrier for the UK http://www.apple.com/uk/iphone

Now I am sure that this conversation will evolve into a discussion about unlocked cell phones and Europe. I don't know about that regulation. Some other armchair expert will have point us to those facts.
