the first iPhone 3G in Belgium

Price iPhone 3G 8 GB: 525 euro (=$800)

Price iPhone 3G 8 GB: 615 euro (=$940)

That same iPhone, unlocked, costs here $599 (8 GB) and $699 (16 GB).

Mind you, that is an unlocked phone, without any subscription.

However it can be cheaper:

Since AT&T's unlocked iPhone 3Gs will cost you $599 (8GB) or $699 (16GB), you are better off signing a contract and canceling it than buying an unlocked iPhone. In fact, it's even cheaper to buy a 16GB iPhone using this method than to buy and unlock an 8GB version.

$299 - 16GB iPhone w/contract

$36 - Activation

$175 - Early Termination Fee

$70 - One month of service
Total Price Using The Shady Method: $580

8GB iPhone Canceled: $480

16GB iPhone Canceled: $580

8 GB iPhone Unlocked from AT&T: $599

16GB iPhone Unlocked from AT&T: $699

I am ready to take offers for an export/import company trading iPhones!
