Where to get a sim free iPhone 5? Is this site reliable?

    I'm getting the iPhone 5 next week and debating on a package. It was between getting it for €649 with O2 prepay or paying 25 a month with meteor bill pay package and paying 349 at the start. A bill pay contract doesn't really appeal to me.
    I'm on 48 at the moment and would love to stay with it so I thought then to get an sim free iPhone but they seem hard to get. If I get one unlocked it will remove the warranty.
    I saw this site http://www.phonesonline.ie/apple-iphone-5-16gb-white-sim-free.html but no idea if it is reliable. There are ones on ebay etc but there's no warranty with them either so I wouldn't be able to purchase insurance.

    Can anyone help me out? I'm not that techy so any help would be greatly appreciated :)

    Get a sim free 5C from Apple ? I would be very reluctant to buy through any of those sites, when the difference will end up only being a relatively small amount ..

    Would buy through apple too, unless there is some overriding need, e.g. They have stock when apple don't. In saying that, have used phones online for a sim free phone and for a carkkit and they were fantastic. Based in Bray and always someone at the end of the phone

    Buying a 5 for that price now would be madness.

    Wait and get 5s.

    Thanks for the replies so far. The reason I am hesitant about waiting is because they've stopped making the 5 now and shops are selling out of them.
    Anyone know what the sim free 5s will be retailing for?

    You would be mad to pay that for the iPhone 5 when in a few weeks the iPhone 5s will be probably maybe 649 yoyos!
