Orange UK has announce their iPhone price plan

Not really that attractive to me. Maybe i just stick to the current plan to get sim free phone
You, as a visitor outside EU country, come to EU and buy stuff like branded handbags (lotsa malaysians do this) which is more than 300 pounds (i think somewhere around there, i cant remember) can claim back the VAT (value added tax) at the airport. Its like singapore GST.

Before you fly back, you can go to the VAT claim counter and claim back your VAT (in cash or cheque). But you need a VAT form for it i think.

You probably need to ask for VAT form from Apple.

you need a VAT form from the seller, and to get the form, you have to show your passport with evidence as a visitor.

I'll pass being an early adopter, take my sweet time until the hype is over.

However, tesco offer seems very interesting too. £20 for 12 months contract + 349 for the phone, best offer for the phone, but seeing Tesco on the phone screen, is a bit weird. What'd you think?

How sure are you? iPhone 4 should all be unlocked isn't it... Cause they have no point locking it since O2 is not the monopoly anymore and all telcos have simjilar price plans...

nope it isn't. most iphone 4 on operator contract is still locked.
