		<description><![CDATA[I agree with the reasons you&#039;ve indicated why Apple doesn&#039;t sell unlocked iPhones in US.

To reiterate, they may not have a market for it (remember iPhone sales started exploding after the $199 contract/subsidised price was first offered for a 3G). 

And the other, like you mention the carriers might not like the idea of selling a top of the line phone unlocked through their stores (which would encourage customers to easily switch away from them once the phone is in their hands!).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can buy unlocked Iphone in Belgium, Belgian law prohibits the sale of a product tied a sole provider service contract.. I imagine that the Honk Kong and  Saudi Arabia availability of iphones is due to similar legislation prohibiting Apple to lock customer in. 

However : the IPhone is on back order in Belgium.. On launch day, Apple only made 200 available nationwide, and people have to wait weeks to get one as Apple is trying NOT to sell them at nearly a 1000 US $ for the 16 GB ... Not selling them, would get them in hot water with the EU  and their economic administration and be liable for millions in fines .. ( EU prohibits Monopolies or attempts at making them )  

I love the Apple products but this attitude of demanding complete control and monopoly of their customers .. is really starting to be a pain... Greed.. we have seen what it has done to Wall street... Cannot wait for the GOOGLE phone..... may not be as pretty but it will rock!  G3, Web, GPS, Media, apps by the thousands, integration, open source and NO contract locking you in... a much better deal...]]></description>
