Answer 1

never buy one they are jailbroken and that means trouble. you CAN get a iphone to work with any network using a SIM overlay which is a chip that fools the phone into thinking the SIM it SITS on is correct one.

NEVER JAILBREAK! It causes so many problems and yet adds nearly nothing!

the 2.0.1 software form apple is stable and works well and lets you add hundreds of apps (many free) from the itunes App Store.

Jail breaking became redundant when the 2.0 software was released as it add almost nothing to the ipods abilities (other than the ability to browse its file structure which also makes it less secure).

Jail breaking also voids the warranty and does cause many issues form files vanishing, memory leaks and loss, rebooting and even failing to boot.

Answer 2

The simple answer is yes, I am running an 02 sim in mine  but my brothers is unlocked and running a T-Mobile PAYG Sim with no problems at all.

The one thing to remember is NEVER update your firmware through iTunes.
