imageUnlocked iPhone 4 Coming To Canada For $659

Apple has been offering a factory unlocked iPhone for quite sometime and started offering factory unlocked iPhones in UK and France with the launch of iPhone 4.

    Is this including sales tax or are they also excluding that from published prices like in the U.S?

    Only too countries that do not have a deal with apple to only be exclusive in that country. Here in Canada, Rogers and Fido(owned by rogers). In December Bell and Telus got into the game. So there is not much of a point anymore so why not just unlock it to any carrier in Canada.
    So when ever AT&T loses its exclusivity apple will start selling unlocked phones to US Customers.

    Am I missing something - this is a load of money up front but is actually quite cheap compared to the price in the UK. A 32GB iphone 4 is £600 which is $965 Canadian. How much would sales tax etc be on top of the $779? Also anyone know whether if bought in Canada, the Apple warranty would be valid in the UK?

    I remember when I desperately wanted an iPhone I went to eBay to buy an unlocked 3Gs, and guess how much the lowest cost at the time? $900! and it wasn't even an iPhone 4, how despicable. They swear like it takes millions to produce one iPhone! and if it does I feel sorry for Apple for wasting their time and money!

    iPhone in UK is expensive compared to Canada. Why? they are not subsidised. Whether you buy outright from Apple and put your own SIM in or get it on contract a 32g unit will cost around £1100 over two years. The only advantage of getting it from Apple is that it is unlocked.

    Don't forget that you still need a cell phone plan. If you don't have a plan, then might as well sign up for x-years and pay less. It's a utility like water, but the water company doesn't subsidize my purchase of a new sink.

    True. I kind of prefer the freedom of choosing the network and contract terms that you get with an unlocked phone (most likely will go T-mobile). Perhaps the reason it's cheaper in Canada is relative to the network subsidy. When I bought the 3GS the network subsidy was better than buying the handset outright - got a pay-and-go on O2 for £400 - then unlocked.

    Now how to source a handset from Canada....
