In France they have a law that forces the companies to sell the iPhone without contract. But from what I've heard, they charge the ridiculous sum of EUR 999,- for it.
You can also order a hacked iPhone from the US. We've got one of those in the family and one at work (I've hacked it myself, there's a nice Mac-only-tool for it out there); they work perfectly well. You just have to be careful with software updates... That's why I don't like hacked/cracked stuff. :-p
But in the end you don't want to have an iPhone without an Internet flatrate anyway. The mobe Internet's what the gadget was made for.
Other than that, I'm with Evak. I make one or two very short phone calls per month on my cell phone, and I --HATE-- being called. If you want something from me - send me an email or visit me.
