Hi everybody

I finally convinced my parents to buy me an iphone (it took a whole year or so, i finally got some good grades at school) but the problem is i have to pay iphone myself.

Now, my dad travels all over the world for his work (but he refuses to spoil his son with gadgets damnit) and i was wondering where he it would be the cheapest to buy the iphone and how he could avoid taking a contract. We live in belgium and we can only buy the iphone without a contract (it is forbidden here to sell cellphones with a contract) so the price is €600.

Is there any where on this planet a place where he can buy this thing cheaper?
Is ebay safe? there they cost around €400 but i wonder where those sellers got their iphones (and probably much cheaper than 400, they need to make profit too.)

plz help, if it is really cheap i will use the extra amount of money to buy an iphone for my girlfriend too

greetings from belgium

in italy i got mine for €400

and you just went to the apple store and bought the iphone just like that without contract for €400?

Yea, I agree, try to buy directly from apple. If not, make a friend in the US and have them get you one. You'll pay about $400 for one, but better than nothing.

Wow that sucks. AT&T has 8GB 3G refurbs right now on their website for $99 with contract.
