iPhones available without contract…if you live in the UK [update]

by Justin Horn on Dec 9th, 2008 @ 2:58 pm

Those of us in the US are still locked into a contract with at&t, but if you live in the UK apple is now letting you purhcase without an O2 contract. The 8GB is selling at $506USD (£342.50) and 16GB at $578USD (£391.45) which can be seen on the apple UK webstore. These amounts include the VAT tax.

If you live anywhere in any of the european countries pictured below you should be able to purchase one of these from the UK webstore and have it shipped to you, but unfortunaetly it can not be shipped direct to the US. So all you geezers and birds can make a killing shipping these things over to the US!

UPDATE Seems like this has been avaialble for some time now from O2 directly, just not from the Apple stores. I also assume that the phone is still locked to O2, so without hacking/unlocking the iPhone you would still have to use it on O2, just on a month to month instead of a contract.
