Expansys UK offering unlocked iPhone

by Thomas Ricker, posted Jul 18th 2007 at 6:59AM

Hmmm, this is interesting. While the whole European iPhone carrier mess gets sorted, Expansys has gone ahead and listed a "network-unlocked" iPhone for their English punters. There's no price or delivery on the 8GB model which makes the pre-order button a bit dubious. Still, the quad-band GSM / EDGE phone looks every bit the peer to its US colonial cousin only with the promise to work with a SIM card from "any UK or European GSM provider." Do you know something we don't Expansys or is this just wishful thinking?

Update: Expansys updated the site, gone is the paragraph regarding the unlocked SIM. Now back to your hacking stations, please.

[Thanks, Marc G.]

I must admit that this is our standard wording for all the phones we sell and the way its shown here it does look a little missleading, I'll get it chnged. I hope that we will be able to get our hands on unlocked i-phones but I can't guarantee it i'm afraid.
