So with the samsung i7500 being released in Germany and France some time at the end of June and no release date announced at all for the UK, I'm getting a bit anxious.

Do you think I could buy the phone on pay as you go from Germany or France and put in a new sim card to use it over here? Does anyone see any problems I would run into? Would the 3G and everything else still work?

Thanks.

I dont think it should be a problem. The only thing is youll need to input all the settings manually. For the internet, txt, mms and data connections. But these are easy to find.

I seem to remember something about the Iphone when it was released that people were buying them from France because they dont sim lock their phones! (ill need clarification on that!)

That sounds good. Maybe I'll wait until it does come out in France then. If there are no signs of a UK release date, I'll look into that.

Does anyone else have confirmation that this should be possible?

The Samsung Galaxy as it's being marketed as will launch across Germany and France at the end of June/early July.

I've heard rumblings that'll be available on O2 (Germany), and Bouygues Telecom (France).

I don't think the networks have yet been 100% confirmed so take that with a pinch of salt.

I'm pretty sure the HTC Magics launched on Vodafone in the UK were unlocked handsets so perhaps you'll get lucky

The samsung i7500 is gonna be released on O2 in Germany. Does that mean if it isn't sim-unlocked, I can still get a pay-as-you-go O2 sim card and use it with it?
