As in the question really.

I would really like to buy an iPhone, but i am in a contract with Three (3) Mobile.

If i buy an unlocked iPhone, will it work with my Three sim card??

Also, will all features be available and what limitations will there be?

Thanks,

It depends if you can get one, Ibought a locked one and have been using the piggyback sims, 2 of them so far and it's not working very well.

+ the new iphone is coming out soon, it's a bad time to buy an iphone.

You got specs on the new Iphone?

I've had a look on the net and can only find out dated information regarding the 'Iphone Nano'

Someone reads The Register

Rumours I think are for this summer, so it might be worth hanging on, I'm wondering whether to sell mine now as it appears not many people know the new one is coming out and I'd get a fairly good price for it. Then I could buy the new one in the summer.

Dont bother attempting using 3 sim on a locked iphone. I used various rebel sims etc but always had weak reception if any

If by 'soon' you mean "no-one has any idea but in all probability by Christmas" then yes, it's coming soon.

Is the 'FM transmitter' for playing the iphone on your car stereo or is it for receiving FM transmissions?
