I don't think there's 3G in his location (africa). So if he's buying an iPod Touch, he might as well go for a used-non-3G version of the iPhone (refering to the first version) which are cheap now. I guess those old iPhones (non-3G) have unlocking software that's freely available. I've seen sites selling sim-cards that unlock locked phones. So he can use something like that too. P.S: I don't own an iPhone (coz I can't afford it) nor used one. So my situation is pretty close to his :)
