The Dev Team does not take donations in any way shape or form.

Is firmware 2.2 directly related to baseband '2.11.07'? In other words, when looking to buy an iPhone 3G, can I simply make sure they never upgraded to firmware 2.2?

Are there any other advantages to having a 3g model? Better, faster hardware like processor?

The differences between the 2G and 3G: GPS, louder speaker, flush headphone slot, and of course 3G speeds.

You can't use T-Mobile's 3G so if you want one make sure its for the other stuff since you'll be stuck in Edge.

Anybody have any info on this? Judging by an article I saw on TUAW it seems that the major baseband upgrade did come along with firmware 2.2, but I'm curious and there are probably a lot of other potential 3G iPhone buyers wondering this as well so they can buy safely.

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!

if you are on 2.1 right now you are safe. if you are on the normal (non modified) 2.2 you have the updated baseband which is NOT currently reported to be supported with this new unlock release. i have heard some stories of people using ziphone to reflash the baseband back down again then being able to install a CUSTOM 2.2 firmware WITHOUT the baseband update. if anyone with a 3g can confirm this it will be much appreciated

wait... so what other network can you use the iphone with that has 3g in the US? Am i missing something?

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....
