It's finally a fact - Apple iPhone unlocked will be selling officially. We know it's hard to believe but T-Mobile has formally announced it today. And if you are just starting to think it's too good to be true here goes the sobering fact. The handset is going to cost 999 Euro. Yeah, you heard it just right - about $1500 a piece is what T-Mobile is going to charge for the precious unlocked iPhone.

Furthermore, the handset won't be available for online or telephone orders and will only be sold in the telecom's official shops. In case you wondered how come T-Mobile is selling unlocked iPhones just 11 days after the official start of sales in Germany, a court ruling has outlawed the exclusive sales of phones on contract only. With the unlocked handsets costing an arm and a leg, we really wonder if the court decision is of much point really.

The good news is mostly for the customers who bought the iPhone between the 19th of November and the day the first unlocked handsets are released. Their iPhones can be unlocked for free.
 
Sounds pretty much like what they're doing in France right?
 
True but hardware wise the iphone is very durable.
And Software I can handle ;)
 
oh, and get this.... copy company that does cell phones (rhymes with joshua) told our company they can get us unlocked iphones some how and will support them. maybe just a sales pitch. id like to see where this goes though,

Lol I know people that work there.... They so errr behind?? Ye behind.
 
im thinking of putting the guy to the test. change our order from 19x tytn 2's to 19x iphones. hehe. wonder what he would say then.

He'll play you and say you will wait till Feb/March... silly tactics.

I doubt they will get it, Germany had to go to court to get it unlocked even though it was readily available, we dont have it for one and then to still get it unlocked......

iWish!:p
 
yeah, think so hey.



R4k just to unlock it or for the whole phone? it's either f'ing expensive or very cheap.

R4410 to buy the "whole" phone (unlocked)
Anyone can do unlocking, its easy just a bit time consuming to upgrade/downgrade firmware
 
I want to puke, because I scoffed at everyone that told me to wait to buy one until all the bugs were worked out. I hope the repair will last longer than the original.

:D:D:D:D

Shame, now he have to eat his words...
