Good news for iPhone fans Stateside. Apple has announced that it will now start selling an unlocked version of its coveted iPhone 4 in the USA.

Previously, the iPhone 4 was available only through the AT&T and Verizon networks and users could not use sim-cards from other networks.

In fact, Verizon only recently became an official iPhone carrier - in January this year. Before this,for a large part of the iPhone's lifecycle, it was available only on the AT&T network which was heavily criticized for its poor signal quality.

Now, users will be able to purchase an iPhone without being locked into a carrier contract.

The unlocked version of the iPhone 4 will be available for $649 for the 16Gb version and $ 749 for the 32Gb version. It will be available in both black and white colours.
