    Hey everybody,

    Im thinkin about getting an iPhone, my question is, if i went for new iphone in town (talkin about an o2 store), is it likely that the baseband would be the latest one isnt it?

    and if that the case, how about unlockin it?
    do i have to wait for the new yellowsn0w release, or any other option?

    thanks,
    Rawlings

    i know, however, im getting this from somebody who bought it in an o2 shop 3 weeks ago, so this will cost me only 300e, it think either way its a very good purchase. its sealed and everything... what u reckon?

    300euros seems very expensive, t bought mine from o2 for 69euros on a monthly pay bill

    Fragile? I would have to disagree. I don't find them fragile at all.

    It think that's a good price.

    Yes, but thats €69 with a contract, so the cost of the phone is subsidised. How much are you paying a month? Add it up over 18 months and I bet it is a lot more than €300.
