Does anyone know about the above? TIM has pre-paid version available (at a silly price) but are they officially unlocked?

Can anyone in Italy that has one confirm this?

Cheers.

Anybody from Italy plz!!

automatic translated by google...
In italy only vodafone and tim seel the iphone, in the photo you can see the iphone with other operator such 3 italia or wind!

Is that true that only Italians or people who live there can buy the iPhone, or can people from other countries go there and buy one.

i'm from Italy and I can confirm that the Tim and Vodafone Iphones are sim-free .

So we can use any sim inside the phone, like Wind, H3G or other.

But I don't know if it's locket for other country sim. I haven't any AT&T actived sim for test it. I'm Sorry.

On the Vodafone italian web site they told that it's fully unlocked.
