| So, who buying an iphone?
»www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/ipho···24-2007/
quote:
It's high noon, Apple and AT&T -- we really hate to break it to you, but the jig is up. Last night the impossible was made possible: right in front of our very eyes we witnessed a full SIM unlock of our iPhone with a small piece of software. It's all over, guys.
The iPhoneSIMfree.com team called us up to prove their claim that they cracked Apple's iPhone SIM lock system, and prove it they did. (No, we don't have a copy of the unlock software, so don't even ask us, ok?) The six-man team has been working non-stop since launch day, and they're officially the first to break Apple's SIM locks on the iPhone. It's done. Seriously. They wouldn't tell us when and how they would release it to the public, but you can certainly bet that they'll try to make a buck on their solution (and rightly so). We can hardly believe the iPhone's finally been cracked. No, scratch that -- we just can't believe it took this long.
Again: we can confirm with 100% certainty that iPhoneSIMfree.com's software solution completely SIM unlocks the iPhone, is restore-resistant, and should make the iPhone fully functional for users outside of the US. Read on for details and links to our video, and check out the gallery of images below.

That said, I'm not buying one.

For 600$?
No way! With that much money you can buy about 400 beers!

The "hack" won't last very long, if it has not already been closed. Trust me on this. |

The thing is, every single software update that comes out for the iPhone will break the hack. It ends up being a lot like running Mac OS X on a PC. You can do it, but is it worth the time? |

Toronto, ON | This is hilarious, some 17-year-old kid blogging about how he unlocked his iPhone: »iphonejtag.blogspot.com/
And he's selling it for $99mil USD. I doubt the high bidder will pay up though. |

Only a VERY FEW people with an axe to grind and the need to risk the money they paid for an iPhone will ever bother.

If my experience is any indication, every AT&T customer has an axe to grind with them, and their support and service is the shittiest I have ever seen of any cellco I have ever dealt with in the past. |
