Hi Marcello, I said non SIM-Locked. Apple will directly sell you one if a vendor will refers you to them. There are other vendors are offering them, too. How they get them I can not say. I believe the import them from other countries. 2007 was a long time ago. You can get the iPhone for $70 - $2 via German Telecom depending on your plan and yes those are SIM-Lock. But, they can be unlocked for a fee! In France the iPhones can be unlocked after 2 month and if I remember correctly for free. I won't and will never buy a telephone that is SIM-Lock. That is just a way the carrier tries to bind you. My last couple of phones have gone to my nieces. They are the envy of their class. As all where smart phones. regards Keith.

The apple store in Hamburg!
No dice. Go to:

select "Apple Store, Alstertal" and you can buy with prepaid or postpaid plan. You cannot buy without plan.
That is confirmed by wikipedia:

There was a short window from Nov. 21 to Dec. 4 2007 in which Apple was legally forced to sell unlocked iPhones in Germany. They `complied´ by offering unlocked iPhones for EUR 1,000 (locked ones were EUR 400).
