I don't know about you, but a good cellphone is worth infinitely more than a PS3, and hence more worth spending the $500. Heck the N97 isn't even gonna cost that much more...
In any case, I find it pretentious of AT&T to feel compelled to "approve it." The whole point of GSM is freedom of using any unlocked phone, and as long as it's FCC approved, I'll use whatever phone I want--I don't need your approval, especially if you're AT&T.
What's the big deal about using an unlocked phone? I have been using unlocked phones for years and simply insert the SIM card for the market I am in and it works seamlessly. Much, much better than being locked in with a "plan".
