    Default Unlock/jailbreak 3G

    Hello,

    I am trying to get my hands on an iPhone 3G.

    My plan was to get one from the states.

    First of all can I unlock using some software, currently i have a 2G and use quickpwn to unlock and jailbreak and was hoping there is something like that for 3G aswell.

    If i jailbreak the 3G can i use a different mobile carrier?

    If there is no software, any ideas when it will be out. I know there is a sim method of unlocking the iphone.

    Can i buy the 3G iphone from the apple store or best buy and not have a contract? will it be unlocked?

    If i can find answers to these questions elsewhere could you kindly direct me accordingly.

    thank you

    The dev-team is working hard on a software unlock for the 3G, but until then you'll need to use a SIM adapter. And no, you have to buy it with a contract, no matter where you buy it from (unless you want to pay the full price ($700-800)) I believe, but it will not be unlocked.

    I think you can buy it from either Apple or AT&T without a contract now, as previously mentioned for $700-$800. Someone feel free to correct me if this isn't the process right now.
