Unlocking my iPhone

Just got a 4GB iPhone over the weekend for $299+tax. I was really tempted to get the iPhone when it was $200 more…luckily I did not….Guess it is well worth the wait. I can’t believe those stand in line for 3 days just to get it at $200 more than the current retail price.

Recently, Apple launches their Touch (iTouch) which looks exactly the same as the iPhone just without the phone. The 8GB iTouch cost the same as the 4GB iPhone..so I got the iPhone since I don’t need the extra 4GB space. Unlocking it was really risky. Went through alot of forums describing thousands of ways to unlock the iPhone…and some reported they bricked the phone….I was lucky I guess.

I cross reference a few tutorials and decide that one tutorial kinda like a superset of all the others. There were different ways posted for a MAC…but unfortunate, I have to looks for the ones for Windoze. The tutorial was simple enough except for the fact, it didn’t clarify what need to be done with a virgin phone in order for iBrickr to work…guess the main site did a great job mentioning it on the front page.

After unlocking, I can use my iPhone with my current carrier (T-Mobile)!!….When i first inserted my Sim, I got a “NO SIM CARD” error which freaked me out for a few secs there. No big deal, took the sim out and put it back and everything is fine, I see my signal bar rising and “T-Mobile” appears next to it. I am now able to connect to my Wifi network and browse the web using the phone. Pretty cool looking device.

You can basically tilt the phone horizontally or vertically for your viewing pleasure. YouTube video is great too. Browsing and viewing on the iPhone is totally great…many will ask “Can you even read that shit?” …hell yeah…by gliding your thumb and your index finger out diagonally, it zooms in, glide in diagonally, it zooms out. I haven’t got time to fiddle with it now, maybe I will check what otehr goodies they have in there over the weekend. Now I will need to unlock my friend’s iPhone..haha……I never thought I would buy an Apple Product….and no..I will never use a MAC…..NEVER!
