unlocked iphone
Although many sites are reporting that the
iPhone is coming unlocked in France, quoting an INH article, Apple told us that the piece was based solely off of reading French Law, not from statements by Orange or Apple. The particulars of pricing plans and whether the iPhone will or won't be unlocked is still up in the air, so don't start pulling out your credit cards for a French iPhone just yet. However, because there is such a law that "forbids bundling the sale of a mobile phone and a mobile operator", there still may be hope for an
unlocked iPhone. [

The owner of phone reseller CertiCell has apparently traded iPhone unlocker George Hotz three locked 8GB iPhones and one Nissan 350Z to get Hotz's
unlocked iPhone unit. This trade teaches us the virtue of patience and how hacking an iPhone can get you ridiculous amounts of stuff. [
