What is the interview about?

Future of the iPhone and of the repercussions of this new "unlock".

Re: yay iphone unlocked

If anyone is interested... got a guy on eBay willing to do $460 shipped for an unlocked 4gb one to Canada... with a bunch of extra programs/games loaded on it...
If you want to order one today (fri@11am) we could save on shipping... I have already paid, and said I would give it a few hours to see if anyone else was interested. (This guys feedback is in the 200's, so no need to worry)

Tempting but I don't have the funds right now.. I think I'll just pick one up in Florida next month

Re: yay iphone unlocked

I thought the 4gigs where not being made anymore and that the 8gigs where now $400?
From what I have read future updates could also relock the phone so it is another one of those cat and mouse games.

Re: yay iphone unlocked

yep,

theyare releasing an update in a matter of days that 'could' re lock the phone though they have stated that they are not issuing this one for the sole purpose.

Somehow i think it would be a good move for them to leave it unlockable, they did their part in the beginning and now there sales should climb nicely

Re: yay iphone unlocked

Well it should be fairly easy for them to re-lock it seeing as how the crack is free, and they do hold all the source code. The only way to get around it would be to get the crack (if it truly works), then to disable the updating system. Then when Apple releases a fix you abstain from updating. Until that is that there is a second version of the crack ... and so on and so forth.

Re: yay iphone unlocked

I can't see Apple trying to re-lock phones with an update and lose out on all of these additional sales. It doesn't make sense.

Re: yay iphone unlocked

The sale was already done, what they would be doing by re-locking unlocked phones would be to prevent others from using a device that's designed to only be used in a specific manner. At the same time, that would be a royal pain in the ass to keep cracking updates.

Re: yay iphone unlocked

Received a brand new 8G today ($399 + tax), SW unlocked in less than 1 hour. There are 3 or 4 steps, the NOR memory dump/hack/rewrite is the longest part which is fully automated BTW. Phone works fine on rogers, wifi works....
nice interface

Unlocked?

Re: yay iphone unlocked

you were only able to use the iphone on the AT&T network in the states. It was an exclusivity agreement between Apple and AT&T.
