Ebay has listed the iphone and other prominent items for sale basically forever. If you spend anytime on ebay you would have noticed this long ago. Ebay is a marketplace for products, and as unlocking your iphone is not illegal, what is the point of this post? This post is retarded.

Only 3G-capable phones are allowed to be bundled up with the connection, so unlocked phones are stil far more common than locked ones. So Apple tactics will be (and have been) seen even more outrageous over here, and of course before they 1) supply a 3G model (iPhone v2 seems to be coming up soon enough) 2) sell it without locking here or 3) change the Finnish laws, as far as I can tell they have no legal way to distribute the current brickable version.
