In EU and Asia, You can only have an exclusive phone by Telecom, but you can't sell any phone locked to a single operator.
You can officially buy iPhone and put any SIM card.

              huh, 18 Jul 2010lol... why spend so much on a entertainment phone when you ... morePrecisely. That what I'm wondering. Why bother to get an iPhone if you're struggling financially. Its just a hype that people think that they must get an iPhone to be in the "In Crowd". Thats nonsense. Other phones like Nokia, Samsung, HTC for example can offer the same if not better features than the iPhone.

                    [deleted post]Hey, I am not questioning people's choices here. All I am saying is, Apple does not officially sell unlocked iphones. You can jailbreal your iphone if you like, that's your choice. But a legit iphone through an official carrier can be expensive. But if you ask me, it is quite useless to get a capable smartphone and not get a data plan? For people who makes good money, a data plan is not a burden and they will not hesitate to get one. If you do hesitate, then really you can't afford it.

                    Those people remind me of those who buy luxury cars and put in regular gas in it and takes it to a neighborhood shop for maintenance. Pathetic :) if you can't afford premium gas for a luxury car and can't afford to take it to the dealership for maintenance, you cannot afford that car. Social climber.

                      "You can return undamaged iPhone within 30 days to have a refund". This is nice, I have a time to show everyone I have an iPhone4 and return it to have my money back. Hehehe... FREE TRIAL ON A SMARTPHONE. Apple really love it's customers.

                        [deleted post]So you do not need a data plan for your iphone? How are you going to make use of its web browsing then? How are you going to use those apps that require data? If you cannot afford a data plan, don't get an iphone. It's not worth it.

                        As I have said. Apple does not sell unlocked iphones, but people do unlock iphones and sell it, but those are not officially unlocked by Apple but by some dev team. You lose your warranty if Apple finds out that you tampered with it.
