Unblocked means jailbroken. Every time Apple release a firmware revision they WILL attempt to brick your jailbroken phone.

And don't forget that those prices are damned expensive... remember that the first gen was half price or less in the UK a few months ago to clear stocks and build up demand for the 3G. I'll bet most stocks ended up being bought up by places like this!

As for the second gen - I've already seen someone buy a 3G iPhone at ECI - and it definately comes up at 499 on the till with a discount then applied according to tariff. This should give you an idea what a PAYG iPhone will be when they are released later in the year - half the price that your website wants!!

Friend of mine got one from the states and has no problems with the firmware. Depends what you are going to use it for i guess.

Get the Nokia N95 all the gizmo's with 5mp cam worth looking at. The French iphone does not have any dedicated provider and is therefore sold any simm card use. That is French law I do not know how much they are but worth thinking about as all new firmware will be uploaded no problem and you can use all the functions apple intended you to use. Check on E-Bay.

cheap with the doller but now watch for them at Revenue & Customs with import dutys and VIA R VAT
with O2 and Movistar blocking the phone that are not registor with them and that have the right to do so

iphone for Usa can work out to be on the pricey side off thinks and few online stores that as scams ha thay be 99 euro next year and some outher new toy out there ... all big com to get us to buy and part with are cash

I have my iphone!!!!!!!!!!! The movistar shop in Dos Mares, San Javier phoned me last night to tell me they had arrived.

Still waiting for the call for mine... :curse:

On the other hand, one of my employees is on his fifth one - O2 keep sending replacements because of woeful 3G reception issues.

Have not managed to play with it yet as i am at work and the damn thing needs to charge for 8 hours I want to play
