Really? I did not know this. Can an unlocked iphone be purchased and used in the u.s.? How much do they run? I need to get a new mobile phone but I cannot do a two year contract until summer of 2010. I won't bore you with the explanation. So, I've searched for a cheap phone I can buy and use with at&t until then but I haven't really found one. :) I'm sure I'm just not looking in the right places. :)
Best of luck on deciding if you want an iphone or an ipod touch. Christina On Nov 27, 2009, at 4:08 PM, Nicolai Svendsen wrote: > Hi, > > I know.
