Hi all,
Just came across this thought may be good news for some of you Mac fans, basically a iPhone in the UK that you can use all the Multi Media functionality and a note that you can Google to unlock it and use the Phone part as well. Not cheap @£549 but then no 2yr contract either check out the details at this link.

Seems very dodgy to me, they also using a VOIP number not that anything wrong with that, but it makes it easy to just disconnect after ohh 100 orders of 8GB iPhones.

I just done some research on these guys. And there aint no such thing as this company (officially).
Avoid at all cost and desperation

How can you trust them? The iPhone is sold in US only, and you must have an ATT contract. Apple does not sell iPhone in europe yet.
It can be fake iPhone also like on ebay sometimes. Or people who will take your money! |

I have also done some research on them and have to say I have come up with the exact opposite result.
A quick search at Companies House webiste - http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk//index.shtml
As you can see, they are a legitimate company who are up to date with their accounts.
That's not to say that they really have this phone to sell. However, from what I can tell, they seem to be a legitimate company. |

you can find plenty on ebay that are activated, just not unlocked. So you can use wifi, music etc, but no phone calls, sms....

It's also a little worrying when they have a mobile number as a point of contact as oppose to a landline!

Usually I would agree. However, they have a legitmate address on the web site, which is veriable via Companies House. |

True...but only your main area of activity is listed. It does not mean that they do also sell phones.

Well, if you read the Warning section you understand that what they do is just importing iPhones and sell them in the UK.
The iPod part is cracked, so you can use it the iPhone's multimedia features, but then they clearly state that there is no phone unlock yet, and that you have to take care of that part your self. |

Hi all,
I wasn't suggesting any one should buy it only that it appeared to be available and apparently can be used so if you have an EDGE supported Network it can in fact be used if that's what you want to do. As apparently they can be unlocked quite easily.
