    It will work perfectly over here (you will need to unlock it though) since all iPhones sold worldwide use the same 3G frequencies, however I wonder what you will do with your AT&T contract as only they sell it over there?

    Also, I think you may need an American social security number to get it.

    Tac, if you do a search you'll see about 179 threads started on the same topic.

    short answer is you cant buy one without a 2 year AT&T contract and a social security number.

    And if you do manage to get one, it *will* be locked to AT&T (iPhones are not sold unlocked in US at all, even in an apple store) and most likely have a baseband that is not soft unlockable (yet).
