I want to buy Galaxy S II from phones4u on the 27th of april. Is it possible to buy the phone unlocked? I dont want to tie myself down to a contract. Thanks.

Think its contract only. Want to get one on PAYG or SIM FREE on 27th but I doubt they'll have them unlocked. I'm going early in the morning on wednesday, so I'll update on here if its availible on PAYG or Sim Free

EDIT: Here suggests it'll be availible PAYG for £499 on Wednesday
Galaxy S II Wipe Custom Binary Counter

I asked about this and my local CPW and P4U both said they were unlocked, but that means they can take any network's sim card. It doesn't mean they don't come on a contract - that's referring to as "sim-free" and even that's a bit of a misnomer as it could have a PAYG sim.

I don't know if I'm being helpful or pedantic here. I mean the former, honest!

Actually they are shipping out on 28th according to the website.
29th is holiday, 30th and 1st is weekend, 2nd is holiday. So in any case people wont get their phones before 3rd in UK

I have ordered from them, do you think they can ship the handset on 28th so i can get it on 4th, as it is a international order & also what is the probability that handtec is getting the stock on 27th, coz is heard some people saying that they delay the phones & also all are talking @ phones4u but no one seems interested @ haandtec, I dont know why

well you are correct but maybe they mean they get on 27th and the phones are shipped to your address on the 28th (next day), or ovsly they just dont ship till 28th in which we are doomed lol

Just rang me nearest store and they said they dont have it for sale till the 1st may!! lol very much an exclusive!!,
So, i rang the next nearest shop and they are having them deliverd tomorow for sale wed, so i asked about a sim free model and they said they should have some for sale but they are limited amount so looks like some of us might be lucky to get there hands on 1 on wed 27th,
They are ringing me tomorow to clarify the stock of sim free once they have had delivery.
