Meanwhile at Dion Wired, its going for R6389 and R7569. Activation can be done at the outlet or by yourself. It is not network locked and can be activated with any sim card, also there is no need to activate again when your sim card is changed. However there are some limitations of the phone as it is (with no apps): 1. Bluetooth only works over voice (ie. that is with a headset only, no file exchange) 2. There is no MMS capability. 3. The iPhone cannot be used as a modem. 4. No video recording. 5. No Java Virtual Machine 6. No Zoom when taking a picture. 7. No flash for camera. 8. No Night Mode.
