OhGizmo!: Buy.com Is Selling “Never Locked” iPhones

    But aren't there other countries that sells never locked phones?
    Gray import...?

    Yes! In Brazil there is a law that every company has to unlock the phones for free and is obligated to offer unlocked phones, with no contract (prepaid). Of course the price is very, very steep, but hey, at least is something...
    FYI. In Brazil things cost more that 2x than in USA, and a unlocked prepaid Iphone sells for something like US$1100,00, (a Nokia N95 8g unlocked and prepaid goes for something like US$ 700,00) in a renewal of my contract, for 12 months I got one (iPhone 8g) for free...

    Over here in Belgium, the Iphone has to be sold without lock due to a certain law.
    Maybe the Iphones sold here are part of a Belgian shipment?
