    I don't think so. I think they need to be connected to iTunes.

    No, they are locked to the original carrier, and need to be activated.

    Then you would get a sim-free unlocked one.

    But it would still need to be activated through iTunes, right?

    I got one a couple of weeks ago. Sent an unlocked (unlocked officially by vodafone a few days before I sent it) handset, got back an unlocked and unactivated model
