Does anyone know if all of the unlocked iPhones would work in Europe (Holland to be more specifically). Also can someone tell me how to distinguish a fake iphone from a real one, there are so many fake ones out there that look a lot like the actual iPhone. Thanks

Yes. From what i know its the law in certain countries that you have to have your phone unlocked. iPhones are GSM phones which means they can work all around the world. If you arent from Europe and visiting then your carrier might have special international plans for travellers. Contact your provider for more info. There are many ways to distinguish the two. The only faux iPhones created are all main in Asia. They use the same concept. One way to to look at the screen on the faux iPhone and a normal one. If there are many differences("feature strip" thats on the screen at all times and isnt included as apart of the screen). The look at the home button, there might be soft keys other than the home button or something other than the white squre. Then look at the backing. 80% of the time it has the external speakers near the camera area. Also if you have the physical phone in hand then go to the music feature and if you can go though music by shaking the phone then its a obvious fake. Ummmmmm......Thats all i can think of. UPDATE: Look at the menu home of the fake and the real. That is the easiest wayy to give off if its a fake or real.

Yes, the iPhone will work overseas, and not just in Europe and Asia. The iPhone is a GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) phone. GSM, which uses narrowband TDMA, was first introduced as a standard in 1991 and is now in place in over 100 countries. Access to receive and place calls from outside the United States will require additional services from AT&T/Cingular, which you will need to arrange with them before your phone will operate in such a fashion, but the phone is perfectly capable for worldwide use. The Iphone Clone is called the HiPhone they are almost alike and better price. You can get the real iphone or clone Hiphone from http://www.winnersprice.com
