Hey guys, first time poster long time lurker here.

I'll try to keep the story short and sweet :D : Non-us resident, going on holidays to Miami in a couple of weeks and was wondering how to get my hands on an Iphone 5.

Apple doesn't seem to be offering a factory unlocked phone right now so I guess that my best bet would be to get an off contract I5.

The problem is: where and how?

Can't get one online through Apple cause I fail the carrier eligible tests (as I'm no Verizon/AT&T/Sprint customer), no SSN either(Tourist!) so I can't just sign for a new line.

Best Buy / Radio shack don't seem to be offering the I5 off contract either.

I guess my only choice would be CL/Ebay, but would rather pick it up myself (and inspect it!) due to the whole scruffgate thing going on.

Anyone got any tips?

Thanks! :eek:
