I would suggest you do the same thing as me: eMail your contact at
Apple, and ask if you can buy a phone directly from Apple
1) They'll be available at the Apple Stores US, but with the same
Cingular contract provisions.
2) I note that "exclusive contract with Cingular" does not
automatically imply that the phones will be locked. You might be
forced to sign up for a contract, but it seems possible (perhaps not
exactly likely) that other carrier SIM cards would work.
3) If the phone is locked, I don't know of any existing GSM phones
that cannot be unlocked by a professional, and presumably there will
be an immediate market for anyone who manages to do so.
So it seems your options are: 1) wait for an official iPhone release
on your network of choice (and those of us in the US who are not
Cingular customers are in the same boat), or 2) see what zero-day
hacks are made available.
Personally, between the network and the "what OS X functions will it
have" questions, I think that there are as many unanswered iPhone
questions today as there were yesterday.
Best,
Jeff
