I have an unlocked iPhone 2G here in Brazil, on the Vivo network. Vivo is an official Apple carrier, but push notifications are a no go for me.
EDGE is so f'ing slow, however, that I don't care that much about it. I'm waiting for the 3GS launch to get a new model, and this time I'll get an official, factory unlocked phone.
If you don't want to encourage Apple, don't buy their products. But don't support them with your cash and THEN whine about how they do business. There is a reason they are one of the most successful brands in the world, and your money helps.
Buy Apple, support Apple and encourage their brand. If not, but some 3rd class garbage that you geek kids can hack away with.
I updated my 2G iPhone to 3.0 last week. When this drops on Friday, I will be unlocking this phone for my wife and upgrading to the 3GS. Nice work from the dev team!
@tptcat: If your under contract then theres nothing you can do... if your not you can go to prepaid but with no unlimited data plans what would be the point?
This is really for people who want to use Tmobile (why would a Tmobile user care though since its more expensive to buy an iPhone 3G and they still wont get 3G, better for them to go with an iPhone 2G).
Oh and people who want to go overseas and not pay roaming charges.
Well this is a royal turd... But it makes sense, at least from a branding and intellectual property perspective. Let's hope the Dev Team gets cracking ob this fast.. I can't live without my cracked apps and Doom on the train.
Given that Apple is in a stated cat and mouse war with jailbreakers, why would anyone be surprised when the cat swipes its paw at the mouse? if you're going to cat-and-mouse with a wily mouse, you might as well be a wily cat.
I'm so fed up with them. I'm glad I sold their stock when I did. They're going to start sinking before too long. They piss everyone off, and they have become far more obsessed with form that function. D**NIT!
@JeffEd: This is a perfect example of how Apple is obsessed with function in a bad way. If they weren't, then you could install Leopard on any $100 box and feel free to run any application on their phone to reduce battery life and otherwise mess with it's intended design and functions.

1. No push.
2. Your push and other hactivated push messages get delivered to the wrong device.
The iphone-dev team that makes ultrasnow is working on a fix.
Remember people that hacking your device opens up features but may break official one.

The iPhone is far from perfect, but it was a wake up call to the mobile industry, that kept pushing crappy phones after identically crappy phones.

Is there something I can do with a JB phone vs a non-JB phone?????
If so, I am all for it, but I haven't figured out what the advantage is.

Is there some prepaid service I can use as an alternative to my ATT account? How else can this help me?

I don't plan on changing my carrier for awhile, but I'd like to just unlock it now for the heck of it

"...the soft unlock will now be only for baseband 02.28.00 (the most recent baseband)"

• First, update your iPhone 3G to the latest iPhone OS provided by Apple using the latest iTunes.

Funny - I was always told not to eat the yellow snow. My iPhone 3G doesn't work great but I don't see any reason to break it any further.
