In short: As long as the iPhone 3G is firmware is 2.1 or less it will be unlockable? Thanks in advance for any info!

or has been pwned at 2.2 using the dev teams pwnage tool, this stops the baseband from being updated also.
at the moment ive got all the goodness of 2.2 with a 2.0 baseband
just to let you guys know, i bought an iphone on payg from the apple store the other day and it came with 2.1 firmware, but, it is only a matter of time before every brand new iphone is 2.2 otb.
im gonna hold onto mine and sell it when people are looking for unlocked ones on ebay and they are a bit rarer, then use the money to buy a 32gb one after xmas

whoah whoah whoah, hold up. ziphone works with 2.x firmware now? since when? have i missed a massive piece of iphone news here?
SORRY to triplepost but ziphone worked upto 1.1.4, then zibri went on a rampage and eventually did not come through with anything for 2.x, therefore, there is no way for a 3g iphone to have its baseband flashed back to a 1.1.4 2g baseband, as 3g is 2.x only for now.
i think youve got confused somewhere here?
ziphone also enables imei changing i believe (although ive never used the programme) so this would be massive for me....
