Hi,
Personally i think the iPhone is a great product and would love to get my hands on it as soon as possible. There lies the problem.
Australian should be in the "Asia" release area/date (and i damm well hope it is!!!) but it gets released in the US in July.
I am however going to the US from here in mid-late July, my question is... Regardless of where you buy it in the US (duty free apple store is what i would be looking at) it would be locked to Cingular, right?
So i doubt that that is possible to change without some really smart person to crack the software if that even happens.
But however does Australia support the GSM/EDGE protocol widely? Cause i could get it signed up to my credit card and then use global roaming.
Probably impossible but any insight would be appreciated,
thanks

\ that sounds like bad news if the towers need to be upgraded for the EDGE capability. There would be massive amounts of Australia that haven't been upgraded
