Newbie needs help from experts

Hello everyone, I am searching for a cell phone for my wife for christmas. After reading Steve Jobs biography, which was EXCELLENT, I started fooling around with my daughters ipod touch. What a great device

Well, my wifes cell plan is up and I figured no better gift to get than an iphone.

Problem is I do not have a clue on which one to get. Believe it or not, after 40 years I do not even have cell phone.

Can someone help me choose a Iphone for her?

I know easiest answer is buy the latest greatest but that could be a waste as I know for sure my wife will not use the device to its full capability.

Criteria involved

I am looking for a New iphone, do not care what generation
Has to be able to hook to any wireless carrier as I will not sign a contract so unlockable
GB does not matter
Service will be in Canada
Do not care of the generation
Must have bluetooth and Wifi
Resonably priced for the options I will received

I truely am thankful for all that can give their opinion as I know nothing in regards to the Iphone.

Thanks Everyone

Chris

i think the iPhone 4 8gb or 4S16gb is your best bet.
you can buy the unlocked versions of them from apple although the unlocked versions are expensive

Get the factory unlocked iPhone 4 8gb or you could also chose the iPhone 3GS, it's a good device as well and I personally love the shape of it. Both of these 2 devices match very well your criteria except for the prices which I have no clue how much they can cost in your area.

I was thinking now that I researched it a little more after reading your helpful replies, I will look for a new Iphone 3GS. Any tips or things I should look out for? I was watching some videos and the damn clones look identical.

Also all the "new" 3GS phone for some reason are not under Apple warranty.
