    Get with the seller about the "unlock", because there isn't a soft unlock for 3G only current unlock is foreign 3G unlocked from apple. If not, you need a sim adapter, but now with 2.2, current adapters don't work because 3G 2.2 updates the baseband. Sounds like your stuck with a Touch for now until new sim adapters are out...

    To the op samething happened to me. I was unlocked and jailbroken Tmobile with firmware 2.1 AnD when I restored to the stock 2.2 firm ware in iTunes the phone still had the Tmobile logo and edge icon as if the unlock was preserved. But of course it wasn't cause as you said it could only make emergency calls. Real weird. Like you I just ran quickpwn and unlocked and jailbroke again and it's been all good. Still weird tho

    It was unlocked still because the 1st gen 2.2 didn't update the baseband which was unlocked on your phone already with 2.1. Because you were running TMo, and not AT&T, you needed Quickpwn to activate which was why you could only make emergency calls.
