Buying an iPhone

[Stepheen]

Well, I lack money and am wanting to buy an iPhone. I've been looking for unlocked ones on eBay. But I'm not sure if what I'm buying is a genuine apple product or a chinese manufactured fake. Are there anyways of being 100% certain?

ohmac.co.uk are 100% genuwine.

True but you can't say that until Ohmac delivers to one of their customers. On ebay look for sellers from the United Kingdom and read the descriptions very careful and also look at their feedback!

stop saying "genuwine" as it's bloody annoying on a topic note Stepheen wait a couple of weeks for the 3G to be out a while and for 2.0 to be jailbroken, you can tell there genuine by the normal post of the box aswell

LMAO. I'm sorry but anyone can make a site saying they are genuine and you still believe them? Well anyway I do belive in this company has its been tracked to their address, UK Vat Number, Phone number and whatever else there is. I'm just waiting for them to deliver before I think about getting one using the website.

Do they come unlocked? It's just the contract I can't afford.

[blanky12!]

Yes, they're unlocked, but you can't buy just yet.

They will most likely come sealed. (from ohmac.co.uk) But by the time they will get to you. Like 2-3 weeks depending on the stock of the actual phone. There will be ways of getting it "unlocked" so you don't have to use O2 Contract.

You know nothing do you? On the website it says nothing about them being unlocked. Also you can actually buy them! Its like pre-order, just have to wait about 2 weeks or more.

I've heard there have been ways of just buying the phone from o2 but saying you'll sign the contract electronically at home, but when you've got it home you can just jailbreak it. But I don't really fancy going into a store saying Yeh I'll have that phone and sign the contract sometime at home.

That was the case, but that was due to the O2 servers overloading or something so the activation couldn't work in the stores. So they just told them to do it at home when they were back up and running. Like Dave said give it a week or two and iPhone 3Gs will be on ebay, just make sure they are real. I really want one as well, that bad i just wanna sell my Xbox 360! But meh.

The ones I've saw on eBay are really expensive atm, give it until september and they'll probably only be £200 on it.
