I know there have been a lot of threads like this one before, but there is just too much information out there 
I'm living in Belgium and iPhones are not available here, easiest option would be to buy an officially unlocked one in France for 750 (=1000USD) but that's just too much for a phone ....
anyway next plan would be to buy one in the US (during a biz trip), take it home and unlock it.
Now here are the questions :
- Can I buy one as a foreigner in an apple store ?
- Can I just buy it and take it home without registering for an AT&T contract in the store ?
- I've seen some tools to activate the phone without the use of iTunes so that's covered. right ?
- Last question : Is there already a tool to unlock firmware 1.1.2 ? and is this loaded on all new phones ?
thanks a lot for your comments/help,
Greg
PS : I know it's kinda illegal and shouldn't be done etc etc but I really would like an iPhone but it's just not for sale here....
