So, rather than going through the somewhat cumbersome process you have outlined, I instead:
1) Ordered T-mobile unlocked phone from Apple directly (full price)
2) Opened said phone, inserted AT&T SIM
3) Done

1) I traded in some iPhone 4s to ATT so I got $200 ATT credit for each phone. Apple was only offering like $67.50 or so
2) I walked into Bestbuy on launch day and was able to get the phone on NEXT immediately.
3) So after all my trade ins, I was net out of pocket just $150 + sales tax for a 64 GB.
So well worth it in my mind for the cumbersome process
Done
