Hi group
Some advice from the wise ones to the curious but ignorant please...
Now that it looks like we'll be able to buy unlocked iPhones from
Apple real soon, I sense that this will be great but I don't know
enough to be sure.
For example - does a sim from a bog-standard Nokia work in an iPhone?
Presumably without 3G speeds?
Would I need to buy a prepaid Next - G plan to get the full benefit?
If I go to the UK for a month later on this year ...can I buy sims
native to the UK network to use in an unlocked iPhone? (to avoid
roaming fees)
Presumably the Wifi features work regardless of what sim is installed
- the sim is only used for internet access over the mobile phone
network if you're not in Wifi range - do I understand this correctly?
Grateful to hear from experienced users on their plans and advice.
Cheers
Mike

Hi Susan,
That would be good news. Might be able to get a new iPhone 3G S
through Daniel "MacWizardry".
Cheers,

Hi Gordon, they will probably be on sale at Apple Resellers here in
the West, as the iPhone 3g was. cheers, Susan.

It would seem that Apple has decided that they are going to sell the
iPhone 3GS outright and unlocked from their retail stores. There's
no
official press release, but a very long thread has emerged on
Whirlpool (http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1228756
)
in which numerous people have called the 5 different Apple stores
and
been given the same story by the various staff there:
Outright Pricing (Unlocked for your carrier's pleasure)
$879 – 16GB
$1040 – 32GB
Which is well below the Vodafone price. I'll be curious to see how
the
carriers react to this news. I'm hoping that Apple will also make
them
available tomorrow on their online store, for those of us in the
West
that can't just fly over East everytime we want to purchase
Apple. :)
