I have a friend who is in New York till this Saturday and he
would like to buy one for me so I have to find a store where he can
buy it right away. I need unlocked iPhone 5, 16GB. Some store near 5th Av or Broadway. Does anyone know? Thanks :)
 
Anyone please? I saw many ads on Craigslist. I donno if it is safe to buy like that...

Yep, a friend just picked up a few last night. If they are sold out (highly unlikely) I know the Apple store at The Westchester mall had a ton yesterday.

It's been reported that full-priced models at AT&T stores are also unlocked. Are you using it in Europe? If so, the Verizon model will actually work better. All Verizon iPhone 5s are unlocked, so a Verizon store may work. Try the Grand Central store if 5th Avenue is too crowded (it usually is).

You might have better luck if you don't limit yourself to the 16GB.

Well, I can go for 32GB I guess :)
 
New York base mobile phone wholesaler

If you don’t mind to explore options on a secondary market like eBay, Craigslist – try these guys in New York: buy-iphone . com (or see my profile).
They are mobile phone wholesalers but also sell retail – 3 locations: Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. You might not know, but it is possible to pick brand new phone on a secondary market.
