i don’t understand why any of you would wanna unlock this thing for use in the US!! AT&t is the only carrier that has 3g. What are you gonna do use it with that T-mobile service? they don’t even have 3g planned till 2009. Listen AT&T isnt bad and their service is going to get alot better with their purchase of block c of the 700 band auction. Oh yea for the guy at the top that said he switched from bell south when AT&T bought them out, dude your a fool AT&T was major owner of BEll south so you were with AT&T and you didnt even know it…

I read that instead of active your iPhone 3G in a store, you could ask to do it at home by yourself through iTunes, but in this case you must sign a document where you are compromised to do it.

I agree, most of us are not Dev’s. I really don’t care who puts it out there, but the guy who puts it in a easy to do package for beginners like me, then more power to him. If the other Dev’s were thinking then they would have done the same. The user is the most important, not the ego of a dev who hacked it in the first place.

paul i agree with what you say, although the problem is not jailbreaking it, the tricky part (for me at least) is getting around the activation and the contract with at&t since they make you sign right at the apple store. maybe ebay will help out with that though….?!?

Are you guys really thinking that the minds that hacked and unlocked all the other phones out there on the market can’t hack the 3g iphone, your truly mistaken, I say we will have to wait a week TOPS

I’m not worried at all. Just go to another country to buy the phone and bring it back. Not all the countries have AT&T. Plus, oversea phones are usually unlock when you get it. If not, go to a 3rd world country and buy it from them without activation BS. I’m sure they will allow it because all they care about is selling as much as possible and don’t care about copyright/obeying any kind of law. If not get it in Japan, those guys are smart they’ll figure something out. Big mistake selling in Japan. hahahaha…you’ll see what I’m talking about when it comes out on July 11!!!

I wonder why Apple didn’t retail complete control by opening its own mobile subsidiary, like the discount stores that resell bigger cell companies’ service, Aldi, Migros, etc. Then they wouldn’t have had to deal with all this contract.

This old model carrier subsidized crap is so unlike Apple. I’m not impressed.

what i was saying is that is gonna happen but there may be other ways to put them into the itunes folder on your computer. for instance, you can buy music on your computer from itunes and it goes straight in. but you could put the music on your computer from another source and then import it to itunes by placing it into the folder itunes uses.

the prolem is that a good number of the apps in the installer don’t and probably would not be able to be done within limitations apple has put on appstore distributed apps.
