French and German off the shelf Unlocked iphones - What do we know?

There are iphones out there in france / germany that have been sold unlocked to Joey Public!! or Jean or even.. erm..eh.. Jürgen?

I know this mainly a US centric board - but there have to be people here who er.. know people??

Are there any good French iphone forums out there? I will take my babblefish and march forward!!

So what do we know?
Who has one of these phones?? Speak up? What's your firmware?
Whats your Week/ Serial Number?
What makes these so special? I love to dump the whole code out and take a look...
Where's that bit of code that checks the serial number?
Was your phone unlocked in the shop? What happened.

Should I jump on a train and go get one? €650? Mmmm

I sure must say, that should become an important topic. We need to know something about that!
I am from Germany, yet I have an US phone.

I was wondering why this hasn't been dug into more, probably has, but...
Could we posibly edit iTunes to change where the IMEI is sent to to a hacker, which will then tell iTunes to unlock the phone?
