The UK & US ones are locked into a "exclusive" deal with the networks (O2 & AT&T) but Apple are offering unlocked phones in Germany (now) & France (soon) so assume in theory you could purchase these and export them back to Aus, although they are being offered at a totally over the top price! Much cheaper from ebay but you take a risk with security/activation etc...

The phone will work on any GSM network as its a GSM phone...So as Australia has several GSM networks then it will work. Once unlocked the only feature that will not work is visual voicemail.

Roll on the day when apple offer unlocked phones from their stores worldwide and ditch then all this crazy network tie in, it would open up the product to a huge market that is out there and make apple shareholders happy! The days of locked contracts look very 1980s....
