I'm looking for a GSM based smart phone that has wifi
that could be used with a prepaid acct from T Mobile
What abt these phones on Deal Extreme?

The price is right! But will they work in the USA in
Missouri?

Hmm.... good idea.... but how do you unlock one??
Also, the Phone does NOT have WIFI, does it?

Wow I didn't know that! Thought it was purposely made
by Apple to lack wifi.

Actually, eCost.com frequently sells refurbished iPhones. Me should do a
google search with regard to unlocking them.
