Funny you should mention that
This sounds like the answer to what I am looking for
I am planning to buy an I phone here they are about 1000 AU dollars
though it will have no service agreement in the us it seems like a good deal as they are unlocked and I need an I touch anyway.I havent heard of problems with the phone and I like the idea I can choose my carrier based on value/quality of service provided
Anyone try this?
Thoughts?
