Why yes, yes it was. Mine still works, and is currently playing BBC Radio 4 in the other room. I think I will go get it unlocked.
This is great news from AT&T, but kind of exasperating, since I splashed out $702 for an unlocked iPhone 4S exactly so I could didn't have to pay vastly more money to end up with an iPod Touch / paperweight at the end of a 2-year contract.
I imagine that this scenario, plus the fact that other carriers will do an unlock 'for overseas' (nudge-nudge wink-wink) has driven AT&T into recognizing that they will lose many many customers, unless they start unlocking.
