Anyone else unlocked the iPhone?



I am done. It took me a few hours to figure out which software works with what and I feel you do need to know Unix a little bit (some files were not chmodded and SSH server refused to restart). There might be a simpler GUI install available but for now it does take half an hour or so to get it done right.

All in all, I have an unlocked phone and can offer free services to the X5world members! (iPhone not included and no you do not need an AT&T account)

There are tons of great native iPhone applications that I feel is the real deal here. This thing is going to fly just on the variety of apps available (TapTap, Stumbler, MobileMoney, eBook reader, NES emulator, VoiceNotes, iChat just to name a few and tons are coming out every day)

PS: This is a great gadget to tinker with.

Sure as long as you have a SIM for AT&T or TMobile here in the US. It will not work for Sprint, Verizon etc.

I really dont understand why everyone is so excited about unlocking the phone. It is a GSM phone, so it only works on AT&T and T-Mobile....why do you really need to unlock it?

When traveling abroad (Europe or Asia) it's cheaper to use the local pay per use sim cards when using the phone locally compared to using the AT&T line which cost a fortune since it'll incur roaming charges.

Maybe but there was no mention of using another sim card in the iPhone. Just unlocking it.
