factory unlocked iphone 3G is available in my area, i want to know if i jailbreak or upgrade the phone, will it remain unlocked? has any1 tried jailbreaking this type of phone and still remained unlocked?

I upgraded mine and it was fine.

[alehkcis]

have you jailbroken your phone? or just upgraded it?

[Rip]

Just updated.

I used to jailbreak my 2G but got so fed up with waiting for jailbreak/unlock solutions I decided to just buy an unlocked phone.

The appstore almost meets my needs. It's only lack of video recording that I really miss now.

thanks for the info, does any1 else have any luck on jailbreaking a factory unlocked 3G?

From the DEV team blog they say:


SIM Free/SP Unlocked/Factory Unlocked iPhone 3G

"This applies if you bought your iPhone 3G for $$$$$$$. This model of iPhone 3G doesn’t have an Service Provider lock (aka factory unlocked) and you are able to put any SIM card into the phone and get service. Your phone is already unlocked so you do not need to worry about baseband updates, simply upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes and then use QuickPwn to Pwn and Jailbreak. This will add Cydia and Installer too."

Looks like you are good to go
