Where can I purchase an iPhone?
One of the most common questions we receive here at iphoneshopfront.com is people asking where they can purchase an iPhone. Well, answer answer is relatively easy, depending on which iPhone you want. The iPhone 3G can be purchased in several countries around the world, as seen below. Click here to visit Apple.com and choose your country.
Unfortunately, buying an iPhone in the majority of these countries, barring a few will get you an iPhone 3G that is locked. Unlocking it is now possible though, if you want to use it with different GSM service providers in your country.
If you want the iPhone 2G, you'll have to go through alternative means. A good place to start is your local classifieds or friends and family. You will often find people upgrading to the iPhone 3G and selling their iPhone 2G for great prices. Unlocking the 2G is fairly straightforward (Windows, Mac). Another great option is eBay - again people looking to sell their iPhone 2G will look to eBay to make the sale. Often people will sell pre-unlocked 2G's on eBay, allowing you to use the iPhone 2G with any GSM service provider. The 2G model is a great version, with longer battery life than the 3G and most of its features, barring the 3G connectivity and full-GPS functionality.
