Unlocked Apple iPhone That Accepts Any GSM SIM Card
Will Apple release an unlocked iPhone (that accepts sim card of any cellular operator like other GSM phones) - that may be the top question in your mind now as Apple iPhone is all set to debut in few hours on AT&T stores in North America.
There’s little reason to believe that Apple will themselves release an unlocked iPhone given their exclusive contract with AT&T [so don't expect iPhone in India yet] but there’s a high probability that creative minds will find some workarounds and the unlocked model of iPhone may soon be on eBay stores in India and around the world. For now, you may buy iPhone books and accessories.
The Unlocked phone may not have everything that comes with the Cingular-Apple package [like Google Maps] but still, you will have an iPhone handset that can SMS or make voice calls. Set an alert on eBay and the good news may be in your inbox soon.
The latest auction for unlocked iPhone on eBay was running for $352 but looks like the Apple lawyers have flexed their muscle and it’s offline now. iPhone vs Blackberry, N95, Wallpapers

I want to buy unlocked iPhone in India. Can you tell me the website that is selling unlocked iPhones which works with any Hutch, Airtel or Reliance SIM card ?
I am not looking for the unlocked version of iPhone but would they make it available for Virgin Mobile, Verizon or Vodafone ? AT&T is slow.
I am smartphone dealer in Palika bazaar and assure you that unlocked iPhone will be available in my shop next week. The iPhone will work with your GSM sim card of Airtel, Hutch, Reliance or Vodafone.
Or you can buy an iPhone from ebay and get it unlocked by me for rs 1000.

iPhone unlcoked in India? Palika bazaar? Guys, it is mac os x and not some general win ce we are talking about. Lot of stringent measures taken against unlocking, I am currently in New York and am covering the unlock procedures,it is not confirmed yet though - Unlock for Rs.1000? Here the first one to Unlock iPhone will get more than $3500 ,lemme know if you succeed - India shines!

will the unlocked iphone still have working maps, stocks and weather
will the i phone will work in india….if it will then how….actually my friend is getting for me from U.S
Folks one thing you have to understand here that iPhone has MAC OS X OS in it so u can imagine how hard it will be to unlock the iPhone, however consider that they have unlocked it they will definitely ruin that master piece. iPhone comes with a pre installed Sim Card on it which only works with AT & T you have to set up and get it activated through iTunes when you unlock it and use it with Normal GSM Card it will definitely have a Compatibility issue and also you cant enjoy the pleasure which the Apple iPhone gives …. So you folks wait for some time Apple has Confirmed that it will launch its product in India soon so dont go with these by wasting your money have patience :)
Hi all, the iphone is not going to get unlocked in a hurry as I am a programmer and MAC OS is very hard to break.. The coding is insane, although a friend did hack it and the results were quite shit. The can ONLY CALL and MESSAGE(SMS) NoThing Else Works. NOTHING…so no point goin in for coded phones, or palika bazaar, or bombay or whatever.
i would like to buy an iphone that works in india …cold some please give the url that sells iphones in india ….thx
Can any one compare N95 and iPhone and tell me the best one to choose? I want to buy any one of these.
n95 v/s iphone
1.n95 n iphone r do different devices.
2.n95 is definately a lot more technically advance(5mp cam)
3.iphone has fetures which are available in almost all the mulitmedia devices
4.only difference between the iphone n rest of the world is the user interface of iphone.It completely different n absolutely out of the box thinking(thx to Steve Jobs)
5.moreover iphone wil come in india in 2008,by that time all its other features will become almost obsolute(2mp cam, no flash)or common(wi-fi)
6.moreover nokia is lot more reliable in india, almost every problem to a nokia phone can b solved out here
7.at the same time iphone is the very 1st phone by apple n lots of changes should b accepted(compare the vry 1st ipod n present day nano)
bottomline
if u want a phone for features den go for n95 n if u want a fashion statment n and absolutely different device(something which most of us havent seen)den iphone is for u
i personaly thing u should wait for the iphone to launch n den compare the prices of n95 or evn e90(for workin professionals) with iphone during its launch n den buy the best one as per ur needs n pocket size [;)]
Good comparison Jigs. Thanks and I wait till it launched in India.
i would like to purchase an iphone that can work with digicel in jamaica…
when wil the I phone be coming to Mumbai and who will be the service provider. Thks
think-Bluetooth doesn’t function properly
Difficult to use the Onscreen keyboard
USB connectivity is only to access images
I am in the USA and I have started using iPhone. You might be aware that Apple cut the iPhone price buy $300 — now iPhone comes in just one model — 8GB — for $399. Apple also introduced iPod touch, which is very similar to iPhone but it lacks the phone/camera/email feature (also some widgets like Weather, Stocks are missing). I am sure iPod touch should be available in India soon.
Though India is a big market, it takes a lot of time for Apple to find the right partner in India. You may be aware that iPhone is yet to be made available in Europe…
My advise for iPhone aspirants is — WAIT until 2008. It is always better to enter through the front door, and avoid back-door entries!!

Hi, I am in U.S. and am dying to buy an iphone from here and take it to India. Currently in market the V1.1.2 and 1.1.3 are available in the market and i think no one has the solution to crack. Few of my friends who got the v1.1.1 and earlier have the iphones working in India but not the latest version with bootloader 4.6.
Could somebody tell if they can unlock the newer version (1.1.2 & 1.1.3) to work perfectly (ipod, browser, phone, SMS etc) in India on any N/W?
I would appreciate for any comment.
