Hey everyone,
Is apple going to offer Iphone 5C in the apple retail store unlocked with no SIM card, GSM?
Or is it only possible to buy it online?
And is it possible to use that phone i am going to buy in the US in Europe, because I will be travelling a lot!
Thanks in advance!

The US iPhone 5C Model A1532 (GSM) doesn't support LTE Band 7 (2600 MHz) so you may be limited to 3G in certain European countries, including the Netherlands.

Other than that an unlocked GSM iPhone will work in Europe.

Thanks for your response, i do understand the problem with the LTE band, but that isn't very important for me.
