I dont think they can take a contrat and leave. you will end up paying way too high price.. better to see any second hand phones which are alrady out of contract and unlocked.

The phone that you will buy from US will be lcoked so it will not be of any immidiate use to you, unless an unloack comes out for the 4.2.1 !!!

better get one from HongKong or Singapore..

Look you can easily get a used 3GS 16GB for around $300 on ebay.com. Keep looking for the right deal and then go for it.

Please be aware that there is an unlock for 3GS 4.2.1 out there, but it requires flashing your baseband to that of an iPad and that is off-putting for some users. Me, I am using that unlock for the past 2 months and haven't looked back.

Your best bet is to get a used/new piece off ebay. You can request the seller to ship it using any number of express shipping methods available, as long as you are ready to pay the extra dough for it. Keep hunting for good deals. I got my 3GS 16GB for $270 shipped so you can easily get a similar deal.
