I advise waiting til March next year when Vodafone will be able to sell you a fully functional one - and likely with bundled data as well in your call plan.
I have heard that Apple plan to seriously enforce the locked phone issue (which they chose to ignore politely with the old iPhone).
I can't say how much it will cost but likely above $200 - however, probably not much more. I'd bet it'll be a cute 999QR or something. But if you buy the locked American version now, you might end up losing out.

Just hold off. You can do it!
