Hi Leo, the discussion board automatically disables editing for regular member accounts after a certain period of time.

Just keep posting the new version of the FAQ as a reply to this thread and I will move it to the top myself when I get the chance.

Thanks.

NOTE: This is for firmware 1.0.2 DO NOT TRY this on firmware 1.1.1 !!!!!

"From google-ing and researching on the web... be careful though, read & do your homework - not all methods are guaranteed to work - sometimes it's just a case by case basis... of course, there are other sites, links, and mirrors out there.... but these are some of the most used ones from activation to unlocking, etc...

Most Mac users simplify & can just use this:

For newbies like me... this is a great reference in learning how to unlock the iphone

I was wondering, if and when the iPhone becomes official here in the Phils., can those with unofficially unlocked iPhones be "converted" to official iPhones? Meaning, will a future software update make the iPhone officially locked to a local telco?

A friend of mine said globe will be the local carrier of the iphone and that they will release it this December. Plans will be at 5K, but she did not find out how much the phone will cost. She said she got the info from a globe business office.

Anyone can confirm this info?

Just this clarification,

the iphone can either be unlocked or its sim cloned. my brother who recently got one says it would be better to have the sim cloned because software downloads from apple would be disabled if they are unlocked. is this true? has anyone experienced that?
