iPhone: entering europe!:)

the last few days have been quite exciting for folks who have already or are planning to import an iPhone outside the US (+ US-citizens not willing to enter a 2-year contract with AT&T, of course). [I guess those who know me, may have a certain idea to which group I belong ;)]. on monday, iPhoneSimFree.com (the group who initially got their hack confirmed by Engadget & CNN) reportedly started selling their patch, although not directly to end-customers but through intermediary resellers, which as far as I know, have failed to deliver until now. they better should have done so quicker, since hackers with a more humanitarian approach have set the patch free & open-source in the meantime (ups, there goes another shady business-model). while there are loads of patches & how-to’s spread on the net right now, reliable sources report that the tutorial at iphone.unlock.no offers a detailed step-by-step guide + all necessary download-links. not for the faint-hearted, the free patch involves jailbreaking the iPhone, installing an ssh-server and entering AT-commands on the shell. less tech-savvy users should probably wait another week until a more automated GUI-tool is released. the result: Apple’s iPhone logged in through a SIM-card courtesy of Austrian cell-provider One. voila! :)

sweet!
I’m really curious if those unlock-tools have any effects on the (future) deals between Apple and potential European carriers…

One iPhone…

Michael has an interesting post about an unlocked iPhone running under the Austrian carrier One (recently acquired by Orange). Hmm, I really wonder whose iPhone this may is…
So there is no reason to sign one of those rumored and ridiculous iPhone…

I found this site (http://www.iphonefreestyler.com/?page_id=10) very helpful, it shows you how to use the Ziphone software to unlock an iphone to use it on any mobile network…excellent.
