Just want a new iPhone but you don’t really want to sign up for a new 2-year contract? Apple’s got you covered. They just started selling an unlocked, GSM version of the iPhone 4, in both black and white colors and both 16GB and 32GB versions. Both colors start out at $649 for the 16GB version and top out at $749 for the 32GB model, but you’re going to have to wait a bit longer for the white models to ship. The white iPhone 4 is listed to ship in 3-5 business days, while the black version ships in 1-3 days.
Clearly, they’re for people who want an iPhone without a new contract, as well as for people who frequently travel overseas. They won’t come with a SIM card but if you plan on using it in the US, you’re still likely to fit an AT&T SIM in there. It’s a GSM phone so it’ll work with T-Mobile as well as AT&T, but since it’s incompatible with T-Mobile’s 3G network, you’re going to be limited to EDGE if you’re not going to connect to AT&T.
