To start off, these are probably the most crappiest photos you will ever see on this blog. It’s the fabled iPhone in my grubby mitts…
Pictures were taken with my Dopod 838 Pro (AKA HTC Hermes). Good PDA phone, not so good camera.
I shoulda brought my K800 instead…
The iPhone really is a marvel. It’s hella thin, looks like it belongs in the permanent collection at the MOMA and the screen navigation is really just like you see on TV. And that gorgeous screen! It makes YouTube videos and everything else look great!
So am I going to drink the kool-aid? Maybe…but my only concern is if I can get the damn thing unlocked. You see, here in the ewe ess of aaay, cell phone providers simlock their phones so only their SIM cards work on them. They justify this by their “subsidy”, a discount of the overly inflated MSRP of the phone that they provide to you so you can be indentured with a two year contract.
However, the iPhone is NOT subsidized. You’re paying full boat for it and it’s STILL SIM locked? That’s very wrong…and the only thing that’s holding me back from taking the plunge.

so do they have the sim slot ???? dont get it until they got the unlocked version…..
It does have a SIM tray on the top of the iPhone, like the Treo has. You need to use a paperclip to push the tray out.
And so far, there’s not been any luck getting the iPhone unlocked. ATT was useless and Apple clammed shut when I asked…
So it’s up to the minions of the hackintosh nation to crack this sucker!
that means its gonna be a long while to unlock them damn phones…..
Yeah, it’s harder to crack Apple products than it is to crack micro$not products but it can be done. Just give it time…
Hi, first I want to thank the Dev-Team for their great job !! I live in Japan and use the Softbank carrier. My I-Phone is the 32GS with 3.1.2 and unlocked and jailbroken with Blackrain and Blacksnow (Windows). Problem is, for the 3rd time in a few months, my phone suddenly stops working. It suddenly freezes and if you restart it then the only thing you see is the white apple mark with the phone that for hours tries to restart itself (and it won’t). Until now I had no problem, I just restored it and then I just had to jailbreak and unlock it again….If I try to RESTORE it now I have only 2 choices from I-Tunes : (1) restore and UPDATE (which automatically updates to 3.1.3 doh) or (2) cancel (which of course means you keep your broken I-Phone) Can somebody give me a good advise on what to do please ?? I’m quite desperate…
