This isn't very practical for those places that charge an assload for unlimited on wireless cards. I pay $25 for unlimited EDGE in China, and I could move up to an unlimited international plan for $100/month if I so wished (I would if I had an iPhone and traveled a lot). What lies between $25 and $100? Nothing- but at China Mobile's data rates ($6/MB anywhere in the world) It'd be less than 20MB before the plan became worth it. Really, where's the unlimited iPhone plans, AT&T?
I'm eagerly awaiting the official release of the iPhone here in China. It's coming in time for Chinese New Year, and the same government regulations exist as in France, so unlocked iPhone for all. But at a more reasonable price, because here they have unofficially-unlocked iPhones to compete with.
