This section contains resources for unlocked GSM cell phones.
The good thing about unlocked phones is the freedom to find the
exact phone you want. Service providers don't offer many choices,
especially higher end tech phones. For example, my current phone,
the Nokia 6108 is purchase from cell phone dealers under special
order from Asia. It is a unlocked GSM phone that I really wanted,
and I had no chance of getting it from any service providers.
With the rising popularity of unlocked cell phones, I have seen
many new websites opening up, offering phones for sale. That's
why we only recommend established sites. Ebay stores are one of
the best places to shop for unlocked GSM phones as the buyers
are under ebay's protection policies. Here are some places you
can take a closer look...

- Feb 25 (44 GSM unlocked phones)
Models include NEC 525 Motorola V66, Nokia 6800, Motorola MPx200,
Audiovox CDM-9500 and lots more. Mixed type of models, the popular
phones are in auction format so you could get them for a low
price. What I like about this store is the No Reserves on the
auctions which starts at $1. Quite new to eBay, but have made
large volumes of sales. Has a 93.8% positive feedback rating,
which is on the lower end compared to other stores.

Cellular - Feb 25 (42 GSM phones)
Models include Motorola MPx200 and Nokia 6820, they only have
these two models when I last checked. They sell quite a lot
of phones a month (about 200), with a 99.4% positive feedback
rating so be sure to check if they have the phone you want.
Charges $19 for shippingwhich is a little high, this is probably
due to all the extra accessories you get with the phone.
