In the USA this is the predominant model. In Europe and Russia customers prefer to buy a SIM unlocked phone and not have a contract. These carriers were getting killed selling subsidized iPhones because it is far cheaper to import an unlocked one and pay less monthly. T-Mobile is doing this in the USA now and eventually people will learn that that "$199" iPhone is not 199 when you are paying $30-40 more a month over T-Mobile unsubsidized cost forever.
