iphone 5 unlocked release date in store.apple.com for de US

I was wanting to buy the iPhone 5 unlocked to be used here in Argentina. I also want to buy it through the store.apple.com/us so i could send it to a friend that lives in the US so he can bring it to me. I just wanted to know if anyone has any news of when it may come out unlocked in the apple.store to be bought with my credit card over here (Argentina) and be sent to my friend's place.

Thank you.

iPhone 5

No. Availability has NOT been announced yet. You can NOT purchase anything from the U.S. store using a non-U.S. credit card.

Nacho.

Apple will not sell anything through the US store if you dont have a US issued C Card. In fact. I was trying to buy the canadian version using my us card but it did not work. So forget it. No us card no iphone. Release date? Who konows. May be in the next few weeks. My current iphone came from canada in 2010 but this time I did nOt find any friends overthere


It would be perfect if some one from apple would read this and give a proper answer. And as I wrote Steve Jobs once, before unlocked iphones became available in the US online store: it is easier to buy cristal meth than buying an unlocked iphone from Apple. At least now is possible. You just have to wait...
