iPhone 3GS available online in NZ

Seems that the iPhone has gone the way of Hong Kong with regards to the online store.
Now you can buy a factory unlocked phone on the Apple Store Nz and have it shipped to you directly.
Good news indeed.

Thats £520 for an unlocked 32gb 3gs, cool.

That's about $900. Not cool.

Seems quite reasonable to me.
At least then I have a factory unlocked phone that I can take anywhere in the world.

If you sign up on the $40 plan for one day then cancel, the ETF is less than the subsidy

Edit: That's if you buy directly from Vodafone. I didn't actually notice that Apple is selling them directly now.

I'm sure some members will be fuming at the footnote on the NZ site

iPhone 3G & iPhone 3GS purchased at the Apple Online Store can be activated with any wireless carrier. Simply insert the SIM from your current phone into iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS and connect to
iTunes 8.2 to complete activation.
