    I was tempted (when they eventually come out here), but would rather get an iPod touch now and keep my existing phone.

    02 just won the right (i.e. paying lots to Apple) to distribute iPhones in the UK. Apparently they'll retail at £270.00.

    iPhone is useless in my area...no AT&T (or even T-Mobile) so no compatible service carrier.

    In the states, you buy just the phone then sign up for a contract online.

    Recently, the phone was unlocked via some clever hacks. So, you can run down to AT&T, or the apple store and just buy the phone - then use a sim from any carrier you like.

    I <3 my iphone

    Nope, you actually have to modify the hardware itself on the iphone, it is not a simple software hack/switch like the typical cell phone.

    Where did you read this? The iphone unlock is a software unlock no need to modify the hardware.

    from my understanding there are two types of unlock. hardware and software. Software is easier to do but they say hardware is tedious but better. I'm not very sure though but at my place no1 do hardware unlock. Just softwares.

    Last time I checked it was only possible to hardware unlock the phone, but it's probably no longer the case (it was a month ago when I last read about it)

    it's a sick phone, but keep in mind it's still new, so there's gonna be a ton of problems with it at first. plus it's expensive, and when you're in the sun you cant see the screen since the reflection of the sun makes only your fingerprints visible.

    sick phone nonetheless
