[QUOTE="tootallUK, post: 714768, member: 10667"] Because of local laws, Apple is obliged to make unlocked iPhones available in both France and Germany. In France, Orange (a subsiduary of France Telecom) sells them with and without contract and in Germany it is T-Mobile. Apparently the French phones are around €100 cheaper than in Germany. Users in the UK have bought phones in France and simply inserted their UK sim card of choice... Trying to find out whether the 3G iPhone is available in France in the same manner but I assume it would have to be. Anything that avoids being tied to the liability that is O2 in the UK has to be worth investigating, even if it's not as cheap as a US purchase. [/QUOTE]
