Buying unlocked iPhone 3G online......

Can anyone tell me where online I can buy an unlocked IPhone 3G 16GB ?

I have contacted Organiser World www.ow.com.au and was told that the
phone is locked, but I could pay Optus $80 to have it unlocked - I
dont want that.

I am purely after an online shop that can sell me an iPhone 3G 16GB
phone unlocked and I can put my own existing 3G sim into it when I get
it.

BTW... not eBay either

Thanks

I can't give a personal recommendation as I haven't used them.
Be aware that the hack to unlock the new iPhone was worked out before the
phone was released.
Also the Optus prepaid phone and unlocking fee is only $30 more than
linelink's outright price.
When you recharge the Optus iPhone to the value of $80 no extra unlocking
fee applies.
It may take up to 10 days for Optus to unlock the phone but 2 to 3 days is
the norm.
