[backstory] my mums going to philippines...and like any other country then nz (most countries anyway) iphones...and everything in general is pretty much cheaper over seas since nz over price stuff Q.Q anyway i was wondering if i tell my mother to buy me an iphone 4 or 3gs from the philippines if it would work in newzealand?? like if it will be unlocked and im able to put in my voda/2degrees/telecom sim into it and it'd work as normal.....and also wondering whether the iphones sold in philippines have any down side to them? (e.g the iphones in china apparently dont come with wifi) thanks! Edit: about the china thing... some dude told me and i just assumed it to be real, so if it isnt its my bad, that guy told me that they sold iphones w/out wifi because of some weird law.

you can buy an iphone 3gs or 4 from globe (the exclusive distributor of iphone in the philippines) but it would take like a month to arrive becos the phone is still going to be shipped from the u.s. you can use it in new zealand when you have it unlocked. all iphones are designed in the u.s. but manufactured in china so i don't know what you're talking about it not coming with wifi. all iphones have wifi. edit:i'm sorry you're right about the china iphones not having wifi. see link for details: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/08/iphone-china/ but the ones sold in the philippines are not crippled, to answer your question.
