Hmmmmm! Had a thought...
Does anyone in here know what the iPhone policy and charges are in India?
Reason I ask is if it's available sim/contract free then I could order one from there as I know someone who is going out very soon

not sure, but you've just given me a thought.
I'm going to Bruges this w/e and belgium are not allowed to sell sim locked phones, so I'll take a look into availability there too!
in the meantime, my O2 one is confirmed so hopefully that will arrive on Friday.
edit: yeah, but then another thought. I guess the policy for the 3g iphone is the same worldwide and it will need to be activated in store and as a non resident that won't work

Hahaha, love some of the comments on that story. That guy looks like a typical New Zealand uni student. Doing it to get famous.
There is a video here of a guy that seems to be having a go at the guy waiting in line for the iPhone:

CAUTION: It contains HEAPS of swearing and very offensive language. However it is amusing to see what a person is like when on the drug P. Mods, feel free to delete my link if you deem it too offensive.
Also, there was a story on the news last night of a guy who was planning to line up for the iPhone 18 hours ahead of release, and then he was auctioning his position in line on our local equivalent of eBay. I think the price was approaching $100 at the time.
Really ridiculous to even line up for an iPhone in my opinion. There will be plenty for everyone. And at the stupidly high (highest in the world) prices of the iPhone in New Zealand, there will probably be more than enough for everyone.

Well, having just done some research, I think I may have got lucky with the iPhone from India idea.
Apparently, theirs may be open to all GSM sims!
Will keep you all informed....... |

First iPhone 3G caught in the wild, unboxed and handled
If you're a prospective iPhone 3G buyer, get ready to make a mess of your keyboard, desk, and any nearby objects that may be hit by spittle flying out of your mouth. Some lucky, lucky Portuguese man or woman has already had the pleasure of cracking open the box and booting up their new device. Feast your eyes on the above pic and one more after the break, and keep reminding yourself that you've only got three more days to wait
ENGADGET
EDIT:
Another one on display at a Swiss store..

Anyone heard anything about voice guiding gps-software? It seems of the facts that only google maps is supplied.

@Leks, which does begin with 'L'
some who work in phone shops or for apple I suppose are lucky to be able to check them out in advance!
as for voice guidance etc, well tomtom is said to have a version for iphone but thats about all we know at present.
Apples SDK rules do not allow development of such software so quite how tomtom will market it is another question

I was (am) seriously considering a move to the Iphone from my Tytn II later this year, but that will be heavily dependent on a good choice of useful software, like TomTom, being readily available from the Appstore. If Apple are using that SDK to lock certain companies out and create monopolies for their chosen partners (like Google) they can forget it, I'll stick to good old WM where the market is open to all kinds.

Guys, have a look at this link and let me know what you think please.
It seems to be genuine enough. the only thing i dont understand is how they can promise that the phone WILL be unlocked?!?!?!? No one has it in their hand to be able to promise this!!

Well realistically they can't promise it, they're just trying their luck. The seller has a positive feedback of 1, what have they got to lose!
It may be well intentioned, but I wouldn't trust my money to it. Patience is a virtue - there's no way I'd buy anything now from O2 or anyone else until the phones are in peoples hands and we all know exactly what the score is with unlocking/activation etc.
