Foe those upgrading to the 3GS what colour are you planning on getting?
Currently have a black 3g but tempted this time to go with white but heard of the cracking problem .etc
What you think black / white?

Vodafone in
NZ sell iPhone, as do
India and possibly other countries too
otherwise I guess its the usual story of buying from a country like Italy or Belgium that sell them sim free, or waiting for a unlock solution to become available
@J273, I would have liked a white 3G so may well choose the white 3G S but I'll probably decide on the day when I see them side by side

jackdaniels Iphones do not come factory unlocked. Apple have the handsets locked to various networks in each country.

Sounds "Factory Unlocked" to me.

Problem with that is the Apple Warranty is only limited to that country you buy it in. So handset goes faulty inside UK and you are from UK. However handset purchased in Belgium = to get handset fixed under warranty you have to travel all the way to Belgium??

First, Apple do sell factory unlocked iphones in countries that do not allow Sim locking
second, agree that iphone warranty is only for the country of purchase
however, third, you don't have to travel at all. you merely have to post the iphone back to the country service centre in the country of purchase for warranty issues. we have at least one member here who has done exacty that (to Italy), with success

One country --- Singapore --- doesn't allow simlocking. Belgium's law was stricken down.
Other countries where factory unlocked iphones are sold --- they are doing so for business reasons, nothing to do with simlocking laws.

I follow all this very closely and I agree that Belgium recently had a ruling against the ban of bundling contracts with phones after many years (at least 10 that I can recall without research) of such practices, but as far I as I am aware this is still undergoing appeals and is not yet law
I'll be in Belgium next w/e (Antwerp and Bruges) and plan to visit a couple of my regular phone suppliers to suss out what the latest story is on all this
