Interesting, do you know what happens if you put a standard uk pay as you go sim card in, will it allow all the phone functionality, such as data transfer and web browsing?

Nope, all works as it was meant too. Its like buying an ordinary phone or buying it off o2.

You'll be able to use it as a phone, but I believe you'll need to change the APN (using something like UnlockIt) to access the Internet with it. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong :)

Thats the point of all this....buying it from France or Italy where it is already unlocked and there is no need to hack and worry about updates then you gotta unlock it again etc.

Belgian Iphones are unlocked and operate on all carriers. If you want just give me a pm and then I can give you more details, or translate the Mobistar website for you as I currently live in Belgium.

NZ iPhones are already unlocked in that they'll work with any SIM card. However, the default "Internet gateway" is set to vodafone.net.nz, as you'd usually be using Vodafone as your ISP. Changing this setting is not a hack; it can be done using official Apple tools. UnlockIt is a website that makes it easier, but there's no hacking involved and it won't be broken by a software update.

Buddy, that's Italian, not French. Doesn't anyone know their top level country code domains? .it = Italy
 
Iphones are factory unlocked in Belgium aswell

As per my previous post its a pain to get the French Iphones unlocked

In Belgium it cost 525 euros for an 8gb version

They will also activate in the shop so that you walk out with a phone that will accept ANY sim card unless its IMSI locked like Tracfone/NET10

Im using a 3UK sim at the moment
