Just got TWO, cost me about Rm1k for each. Ordered yesterday morning from carphonewarehouse.com when the news broke. You have to have a local UK credit/debit card in order to buy as you can't use cash. Received the phones today, unlocked using ZiPhone and it was easy peasy ...now using my iphone with my other SIM card!

The handset is the same as the rest. Not refurbished or anything. Of course they will tell you u have to sign up for the 18 month contract (GBP35 per month) but if you don't activate it you won't be bound to any contract. U just ZiPhone it and it's an unlocked phone!

Probably getting a third one tomorrow coz fren asking me to buy, but local O2 store no more stock liao... sad.gif

Hey dude, just want to confirm with you. I can walk into an 02 or CPW store and just buy one with a uk based credit card, right? And the phones are like the US ones? ie can unlock using ziphone/iliberty etc? Wanted to get one for my sis, just wanna be sure.

Can I get it for 169 from the apple store as well?

Hey,

Yes, for my 3rd purchase, I used my Malaysian credit card to buy from CPW...I was actually asked to sign a paper that to agree that in order to be able to use the phone i must activate via itunes. The paper was given back to me rclxub.gif icon_idea.gif rclxm9.gif hmm.gif sweat.gif rolleyes.gif I recommend that you go to O2 stores, they don't ask anything, no signature, just buy and GO.

Yes, I unlocked all the phones using ziphone, my frens are using the phones now, they perform as you would a phone to perform. Connected to WIFI, tested out everything...smooth sailing...

Not sure if you can get from Apple store...shud be OK.
