    Hi,

    Can anyone give me the name of a chain in the States that sells unlocked Smart Phones?

    I was looking at the Radioshack website but they seem to be all contracted.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Hey,

    I know Best Buy do unlocked phones, you can find them at:

    http://www.bestbuy.com

    Although a couple of caveats, I'm not at all sure if they're good value prices (havent compared them in a while) and I'm pretty sure that they only do unlocked phones in-store, i.e. not for online purchases.

    Have you looked at European options such as www.expansys.ie or even www.ebay.ie, I bought an unlocked XDAIIi on ebay a few years ago and it was great!

    Hope that helps,

    R.

    Thanks for the info.
    The Atom Life on Expansys for €279 looks interesting.

    I don't know of any major chains that will have a decent selection. Any large city will have a handful of resellers that should stock plenty of smartphones at good prices, but they can be difficult to locate (there are a bunch in NYC Chinatown, but I wouldn't have the first idea where to look in Boston or DC).

    If there is a US address you can ship to, your best bet might be an online reseller like Mobilebee or Tiger Direct. Even the prices on Expansys US seem better than here.
