i-phone Advice requested

I am in the US at present.
I am a senior and not up to date on the iphone.
If I buy iphone in the US is it possible to unlock it for use in Ireland on Vodafone network or did use it on prepay?
Will all the other applications work?
I am confused between jail break and iphone crack can someone explain it to me in idiot proof language.
I asked briefly about purchasing one and I think the guy said u need a US address which I can supply.
Thank you

Well first things first, the iphone is locked to at&t in the us and o2 here in ireland. The applications are also limited. Henced its called "jailed" ^^. The quick pawn tool (you have to use a pc or mac for this program) lets you jailbreak your iphone so that you can install third party applications and put in themes that you like/want for free ^^. you can actually buy an iphone in the us and use it here in ireland. But hers the catch, you have to restore(change the firmware) it to version 2.2 and jailbreak it using quickpawn to unlock it. I highly recommend it to be done by someone who has experience in jailbreaking ^^
