I don't think you can buy it online. And if you could, it may not work here in Canada if it's a European model due to different frequencies. The AT&T model will work fine here, but you will have to go to the US to buy it.
What the Fudgie pie :/ Are you serious? I talked to a Bell rep and he made it seem like I could get the phone off contract and unlocking it costs $75. I'm guessing you need the phone NOW? lol.
You should be able to buy it from the AT&T store. I don't see the issue? You do need to pay $50 to unlock the phone. Well just to be safe, call AT&T to be 100% sure.
Bloody hell to Jupiter's moons
That's my plan to get the Atrix. I'm on Rogers as well :/ Well last resort...get my sister, who lives in Michigan, to buy the phone off contract for me since she's with AT&T.Depends on the reps. I've bought phones outright from Bell, Virgin Mobile (before Bell bought them out), and Telus without having contracts with those carriers. From my experience, you have better luck hitting the dealers like Best Buy, Future Shop, WirelessWave, The Source (Radio Shack) etc., rather than going to a corp store. The reps at the corp stores tend to be more focused on maximum sale commision rather than just making any sale, so they look at each phone as a device with contract for voice and data, plus accessories. I also found that if you hit a dealer, tell them you're buying it as a gift and they tend to not bother with carrier details as much.Bloody hell to Jupiter's moons

I just want a phone, so I'll probably hit Best Buy for the reward zone points if I buy the Atrix.
Having said that, my wife is still on Bell so worst case scenario is I buy it outright and use her account for the carrier info which has voice and data on it.
