iPhone software unlock is legit, and we have proof
Too good to be true? Nope -- the iPhone software unlock mentioned a couple days ago is legit. As what seems like teams of people worked on various avenues to unlock this thing, the iPhoneSIMfree.com group was silently plugging away behind the scenes. Our own Ryan Block got together with them and demoed their wares and reports back with some detailed findings.

hurray! now we don't have to hear about how close they are to unlocking it all the time

Did you not notice how the number of iphone posts went up dramatically after the thing was announced. I am sure as different variations, improvements, collabs, etc. happen in the hacking community we will hear MORE news about it being unlocked than before

Anyone else sick to death from hearing every tid-bit of news on the iPhone?
*raises hand*

Not me. Bring on the iPhone news! If you're sick of reading about the iPhone skip it and go to the next article. I don't see how that is hard to comprehend.

Hmmm...curious...curious...why did this pic have T-Mobile at the top left? As far as IPhone, we all would like to see VZ unleash their IPhone killer.

I sincerely hope you're joking... obviously, they stuck a T-Mobile SIM card in there.

This will never see the light of day. Because the author has chosen to try to make money from it and has not released it as open source, that makes him a big target for the lawyers.

It's gay that they are trying to charge for this...like they did ALL the work themselves. Oh, and about the T-Mob logo...that's just a .png graphic that you can change to say anything (like engadget, pwned, etc)

When you put the TMobile SIM in, did it pick up their data network setups auomatically? The iphone does not have a control screen for the internet settings like on a WM phone, so if it doesn't change over automatically how would you get it to work on their Edge system? Also, does anyone know if TMobile's MyFaves and their new @home service would work on a unlocked Iphone? I currently have a iphone on ATT, but would love to switch to the cheaper service on TMobile if I wouldn't lose those key features.

Cheaper prices can mean cheaper in connectivity.

Why design a phone with a SIM card when you want the phone to be network specific? The reason it has a SIM card is that the people at Apple were expecting it to be unlocked so it would be free from AT&T. If I knew this was going to be unlocked so did Steve Jobs. Anyone care to comment on the reasons why?
