Why do so many of these jailbreak apps have such stupid names, e.g.; QuickPWN, Pwnage tool, RedSn0w. I know... I'll give my software a name that at 15 year old script kiddie would pick, because it'll make me look like a 1337 h4x0r. If the QuickPWN website is any indicator of the quality of their code, I'll stay away. They didn't even bother:

Judging by the comments in iPhone Dev Team's blog, i am not surprised.
Half of those people can't even read, since they STILL come and ask when would unlock for 2.2.1 with 2.30.03 baseband be available, even though it has been mentioned about a 1000000000000000 times in that very blog that Dev Team won't touch 02.30.03.

It also allows you to use the phone on a network other than AT&T.

Thanks.

Man cant wait till friday!

I had ordered mine online, and got a notice from Apple/UPS that it was shipped with an expected delivery date of 6/18, a day before official release. This morning there was an exception notice saying the "receiver" had requested the package be put on hold for a future delivery date.

Anybody else get this?

Maybe its just to delay it a day so it's delivered on the actual release date?

Unless something has changed since I jailbroke and unlocked my old 3G, "jailbreaking" refers to allowing access of 3rd party apps and such, while "unlocking" refers to unlocking your service provider options. They are often offered together, but last time I checked, they are actually two separate things, and can be done separately as well.

you can't use free software unlock unless you jailbreak.

you can, however, use one of those piggyback sim cards, but they are pain in the ass, don't really work well, and in some instances you have to buy a new one ($40-60) every time apple releases an update.

thanks!

it's probably safe to say Kentucky currently has the largest supply of iphone 3GS at their UPS station.
