    Unlocked 3G iPhone

    Right, so my 2G iPhone is going on the blink, and I need to get a new mobile. I'm happy with the interface etc of the iPhone, so I'm after a 3G one. I don't want to be locked into O2.

    I know that in some countries (Australia, Italy, Hong Kong etc) you can buy officially unlocked phones from Apple. Has anyone bought one in the UK? I'd prefer a recommendation rather than spending a bundle of cash on eBay.

    I know you can get TurboSim etc, but I really want a 'proper' unlocked one.

    That's lovely, but I use it as a phone and pda rather than a camera and I have a dock at work and home, so battery isn't really that much of a problem.

    They haven't managed to unlock the 3Gs yet. See http://blog.iphone-dev.org/

    True, but as I say, they are available pre-unlocked by Apple in some other countries. Was just wondering if anyone had bought a grey import....
