Buy your own iPhone 2G
Many people prefer the iPhone 2G over the iPhone 3G, due to the lower cost, the easy unlocking process and the longer battery life. As you cannot buy the iPhone 2G new anymore (the iPhone 3G is available though) there are many places where you can buy an iPhone 2G in almost brand new condition or even buy an unlocked iPhone 2G, which enables you
iPhone unlocking is relatively easy
to use the phone with any GSM provider in your country.
Unlocking an iPhone 2G is a relatively simple process and can be performed by even beginners and best of all the software to do this is completely free. The biggest drawback with an unlocked iPhone is that in most cases, upgrading the iPhone's operating system, or firmware, needs to be performed with caution this can overwrite the unlock. However, with the iPhone 2G it is relatively easy to re-unlock your iPhone, again using freely available software. In the remote chance that something does go wrong, it's relatively easy to recover your iPhone back to the state it came from the factory.
With unlocking the iPhone yourself being so easy and relatively safe, there is no reason not to go buy yourself an iPhone 2G and grab yourself a bargain!
