Where best to get an I Phone?
Discussion
Had a good play with Friks I-phone this weekend and have decided I want one, but having zero O2 reception here and having been scammed twice on the 'Bay trying to buy one before, I'm wondering if anyone can give me a pointer as to where to get one that I can use Vodafone on- without y'know, getting stitched up by someone whose trading name has numbers and Z's in it.

N.Z iphones are sold on Vodaphone, so are, I think, the Italian ones.
Vodafone GB also has the settings as people are using them here on vodafone.
I bought mine in NZ and opened the box in the UK. Inserted my Vodafone sim. Registered the phone using itunes and EVERYTHING works out of the box. ALL settings are on the phone.

They seem to cost a similar amount in most countries so I bought a PAYG one from O2 in the UK. Now running software unlock with my company SIM on the Vodafone network. 3G works well too (didn't work with the previoud piggyback unlock). No problems at all, even the unlock was straightforward.

As far as unlocking is concerned I think it's easy enough to unlock both the 2g and 3g models now. Not sure where the best place to get one is though, other than eBay

I know Orange (who I work for) have the exclusive rights in France and Austria for the iphone. but we cant give the settings to anyone who wants to put an Orange sim card in an unlocked iphone here....
I just assumed as with Orange the setting are not interchangable country to country...

So, is it possible to buy one from Italy without going to Italy? N.Z iphones are sold on Vodaphone, so are, I think, the Italian ones.

Take a trip to italy... Factory unlocks.
I went to N.Z. for mine, but that is a bit extreme.
So, when you buy from Vodafone IT, do you just buy the phone, or are you starting a new contract or something? how does this work? I went to N.Z. for mine, but that is a bit extreme.
I'd tolerate going to Italy if I absolutley have to.
