I'm a novice when it comes to this. I live in Norway and I have just bought a iPhone from eBay. I think the firmware is 1.1.2. I wanted to use the iPhone as a mobile phone of course and know this works fine when you have firmware 1.1.1

So my question is. When I get the iPhone and it's 1.1.2, is all I have to do to downgrade it to 1.1.1 and jailbreak + unlock it? Or should I be able to unlock the 1.1.2 to work with any sim-card?

What's the easiest solution, since I'm a novice?

You need to READ.
All the questions you are asking have already been answered.

I don't know what to search for...
I just want a simple answer that's why I made this post.
Sorry for my low knowledge about this

Did the phone come unlocked? Was it sealed in the box?

[eirikdh]

Yes, it did.

The you can't unlock it just yet. You have an expensive ipod touch until an unlocking solution comes out. You can downgrade to 1.1.1, jailbreak and activate it - use Winstaller or Carnaval to do this, but do not run anysim

What's the point in downgrading to 1.1.1 and perform jailbreak and activate it?

[redcard]

OK. Jailbreak and activate 1.1.2. I'm getting confused with other methods

EDIT: You need to downgrade to 1.1.1 so you can run Oktoprep, then upgrade again to 1.1.2

I meant, what are the benefits by jailbreak and activating it when I can't use it as a mobile phone?

[redcard]

You can use it an an ipod touch - music, videos, 3rd party apps

[eirikdh]

Aha, I see! I need to do that to use it at all.

This sucks

I wanted a new mobile phone and I get this. How long do you think I have to wait before I can unlock the new 1.1.2?

Weeks, at a guess, there doesn't seem to be much progress at the moment
