I found another solution, although for $ reasons it isn't for everyone. I just used the live.com cashback program (google it to learn more) to get $200 off the cost of a legally unlocked iphone from overseas. (cost me $640 after the cashback). I'll just sell my own phone on craigslist or ebay and get most of that cost back.

Complicated, but easier in the long run. I'll still jailbreak it when I get it, of course, but now that I've officially upgraded to 2.2, I have no other options, (at the moment).

I upgraded to 2.2 on sunday. No problems, jailbroken and unlocked...using tzones.

I was even able to restore from backup in iTunes, so all my texts etc are back on the phone. (That wasnt always possible with other firmware upgrade for me.)

First you will need to download the baseband downgrader for Windows or Mac.
Run the “ZiPhoneGUI - patched by kIREmK.exe” if on Windows or “ZiPhoneOSX patched by kIREmK 04.05.04_G [En].app” on Mac.
If you don’t know your baseband version on Windows, check the “Downgrade Baseband” along with “Debug Boot” and click “START.” Otherwise just check “Downgrade Baseband” on Mac.
Try unlocking your iPhone now. Hopefully your downgrade went successfully."

I got this from the coderetard page also... Good luck.

I want to do this.. but before i reset everything on my phone has anyone does this and had it work successfully?

It didn't work for me and I suspect it won't work for anyone.

What's the point of that if you can already unlock and jailbreak 2.2???
