After playing around with unlocked and Sim Unlocked 3G iPhones for the last 2 days for clients, I can categorically say that until the iPhone can be unlocked in software, don’t buy a locked one.<\/p>\n
Currently the only 2 countries that have unlocked iPhones out of the box are Italy, and Hong Kong.
\nAustralia iPhones can also be unlocked, but that requires payment to an Australian provider.<\/p>\n
I can provide Italian iPhone 3G if people want, but the pricing is expensive compared to the locked US ones in the market.<\/p>\n
I’ve tested 3 different sets of Sim Unlocks for the 3G, and all of them have quirks that render them useless if you want full functionality like syncing in iTunes etc.<\/p>\n
So, until the iPhone 3G is unlocked I recommend don’t buy a US one.<\/p>\n
For China, the 2G is a better phone, its a shame Apple doesn’t make them anymore, and all thats in the market here is second hand.<\/p>\n
For clients with iPhones – our mail system fully supports the iPhone, I use mine to get mail without issues.<\/p>\n
We also provide firmware upgrade service and hacking for iPhones 2G, and 3G if clients need it.<\/p>\n
For those of you who like to DIY, we have a iPhone site at http:\/\/www.iphonesim.cn<\/p>\n
Firmware files, and iPhone hacking tools are on there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
