    If you mean the "3GS" Than yes, I've seen it done by one of my friends (Although i haven't tried it out myself yet).

    I believe the only firmware that is supported is 3.1.2.

    And I still think that Apple is signing 3.1.2, And hasn't put 3.1.3 on some of the new iPhone's yet.

    Hope that helps

    3gs has a new bootrom it can be jailbroken with 3.1.2 but an unlock is a no go. and i think the jailbreak is teathered so every time it shuts off you must run the software again. but if you are going to run with att there is no need for an unlock as long as the jailbreak activates the phone 'hacktivate' as it were

    From what I understand, u can jailbreak the 3G on the new update and it doesn't have to be tethered everytime u reboot. I have NO problems jailbreaking 2 3G on 3.1.2 this past week when I bought them from the ATT store.

    People, He clearly asked about an 8GB 3G. Yes, you can JB the 3G. They do not have the updated bootrom.
