I do not believe that you can purchase an unlocked phone in the UK. You can in France, but to say that it's expensive would be an understatement.
The other option is to buy one in the UK, Jailbreak it (hack to add software) and then unlock it, BUT, I am not sure that you can do that with a 1.1.2 out of the box phone.
I am pretty sure that it's like over here. You can walk in a buy the phone without setting up a contract.
