PS Is this following true?
I believe that some iPhones out there are refurbished models. These refurbs come in a different colour box (white I think) and the brand spanking new models come in black box (I think).
Ive seen a couple of black models going cheap on ebay near where I live so I can go and pick up in person after checking them out. But I wanted to make sure I didnt get a refurbed handset as some of these black models actually have a white box! So nothing to do with the colour of the phone itself.

I believe that maybe true... I think that the black models in white boxes... would also be the undecorated white boxes too... so no apple logos like the retail boxes...
But mine did come with a white box.... with logo... and the white back too

Right, yet another question boys - sorry.
Would anyone recomend buying an OFFICIALLY unlocked iphone 16gb from Italy?
I have the opportunity to do so but need some advice before doing so please.
It's a few quid more than the PAYG iPhone 16gb but hey, its fully unlocked
... i hope!!!
My main concerns are a) If this is fully legit and if the phone will work fully on my tmobile sim
b) Will i need to spend more money on a new mains supply?
c) ... ... well, those are my concerns unless someone can raise other ones

Yeah that one will definitely be fully unlocked, afaik they cant sell locked mobiles in Italy... so it will defo work with your t-mobile sim
With regard to the power supply, you should be alright just using a euro-uk plug adaptor.

Thanks Ryan.
So, the actual iPhone from Italy doesn't have to be registered first in Italy before it goes out of the shop UNLOCKED?
I may just make this guy an offer for the phone

Of course the fact that Iphones in Italy are unlocked (if that indeed is a fact) doesn't begin to prove that particular offer is "fully legit" and not just some scam artist waiting for your money. Just saying - I'd check things out very carefully and look for some hard evidence that other people have got their phones before sending that amount of money abroad.
The Iphone (and those desperate for an unlocked version) must be the number 1 target for scammers right now.
