iPhone without contract

[greghouse]

Hi,

What countries are offering the iPhone 3G without a contract?
Does this mean that I can buy the iPhone from a country not offering the iPhone 3G and use it in Malta?

Thank you

Pay & Go customers can now enjoy the iPhone 3G without a monthly contract. The new iPhone 3G 8GB for Pay & Go will be available for £349.99 and the 16GB version for £399.99. It's available to buy in O2 stores and The Carphone Warehouse from 16th September.

This also includes unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi for the first 12 months after you activate your iPhone 3G*. At the end of the 12 months you can continue to receive unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi for just £10 per month. We'll notify you before the end of the 12 month period by text and you can easily unsubscribe if you choose to do so.

You'll need to use the new SIM card that comes with the iPhone 3G to get your 12 months of unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi access. If you're already with O2 Pay & Go, you can easily transfer your existing number and balance to your new iPhone SIM by completing this form. Please note visual voicemail and call merging are not available with Pay & Go. You'll also need to change your data settings to use services such as Mobile Internet.

Hong Kong is simply selling the phones with no contract that you can use with any country.

8GB for $5400 HKD
16GB for $6200 HKD

Looks like a better buy in the UK though..

None contract phones are expensive in the short term. It is not much more expensive getting a contract over the 18 months.
