Of course this is all rumor at this point, but I have to think that you will have to make the price attractive to get those that dropped $400 or more to throw out their earlier iPhones for the 3G model. It seems thought, according to Crave, that Apple is going with a new strategy for this model. The report from Fortune states that Apple will sell unlocked 8GB and 16G versions for $399 and $499, but AT&T will be selling the locked version for $199.

AT&T plans to sell the 3G iPhone for $199 when it arrives in AT&T’s stores in June, according to a report, in a sign that Apple may have given up on locked iPhones.

Fortune is reporting that you’ll be able to buy a $199 iPhone in AT&T’s stores, and only in AT&T’s stores, when the new model arrives around the one-year anniversary of the iPhone launch. The report says Apple will sell 8GB and 16GB versions of the new iPhone for $399 and $499 in its own retail stores.

So, there will still be a market for unlocking software, but only on AT&T models. Of course this is all rumored at this point, but what do you think of this price. Nice? Worth giving the iPhone a shot?
