Most people from salehoo want to know about the i-phone.So where is the best place to get it from.Everyone says from apple themselves,but is there much profit to be made? The 8gb is $399 and the 16gb is $499. Is the phone unlocked when you buy from apple? It says in the apple store....

the iphone that they are selling to you is a locked phone with a contract to AT&T for 2 years. Can't unlock it till finished contract.

there is some one on e bay who sells the real apple i phone and un locks them with the soft ware that is on the market now. but where they buy these is beyond me, would apple sell them with out a 2 year plan, the folks who claim to sell the real deal are getting them some where, maybe they work for apple. any thoughts?

It's a software thing. There are a couple of approaches that work with varying degrees of success -- Google around and you'll find many discussions of different ways to do it and problems associated with each. Bear in mind that tampering with the firmware voids the warranty."Failure is not when you fall down. Failure is when you don't get back up."
