I came across this ebay posting, and you have to scroll down to read the sellers full description, but he says he has 2 or 3 At&t phones that he has unlocked and is selling for cheaper than the original Developer unlocked versions.
So......... I am not a developer, but is this true that Developers can unlock the phone and then sell it ????
Nokia Lumia 920 ATT Developer Phone Unlocked Brand New | eBay
"This phone is brand new. As all my phones are, this Phone has a clear ESN and is ready for you to pop a SIM card of your choice in. I only opened the box to make sure everything was in it, and to plug it into my Windows 8 Developer acct to unlock the phone. I am an amateur app developer for Android, Google, and Windows 8. Windows 8 charges $100 for this ability. With my acct I can have three Windows 8 phones unlocked. This is one of the three. I have 1 more that I want to use to debug and test apps. THIS IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE PHONES PEOPLE PICKED UP AT THE DEVELOPERS CONFERANCE, THEY ARE LOADED WITH PROBLEMS, AND IF YOU ARE NOT A DEVELOPER, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR MONEY BUYING ONE AND THINKING IT IS A CONVENTIONAL UNLOCKED PHONE. CONNECTION PROBLEMS, TONS OF PROGRAMMING NEEDED TO BE DONE.
NOT MINE. It is brand new and unlocked just like from the factory. I just plug it into the laptop, Windows 8 SDK Developer Tool opens automatically, and you click on one button. That unlocks the phone. You can go on to develop the phone, but with this one I just put it back in the box unlocked. Nothing else is changed."
That is what is listed....... I didn't write it whoever posted the listing did..... I am not supporting him, I just want to get it out there to make sure if it is legit or if someone is going to be taken for....
