Unlocked iPhones to be sold in France
Friday, October 19, 2007
According to Kevin J. O’Brien of the International Herald Tribune, Orange is expected to sell unlocked iPhones in November along-side exclusive Orange deals.
The move, which ended a month of speculation, is a concession to a French law that forbids bundling the sale of a mobile phone and a mobile operator.

I must admit that this move suprises me since there is a battle going on on one side of the planet to prevent unlocking of iPhones and at the same time, there will be a legally available unlocked iPhone. Sure, the price will probably be very high but still…
