When AT&T announced a SIM-only plan, but with a 2-year contract, I said "Huh?" The reason I said this was because the whole justification for the contract was to subsidize the handset (although we really know it's about retention).

AT&T has backtracked on that statement, saying the online store's text around the 2-year contract was a mistake. In fact, if you look at the page which was used for ordering that option, it's out of stock (likely while they fix things).
