iPhone 3G Jailbroken
ggg.png


After unlocking and jailbreaking iPhone OS 2.0, the iPhone Dev Team has now liberated the new iPhone 3G, only five days after launch. This means a Pwnage tool that will allow you to install the unofficial applications that Apple doesn't want you to have in your iPhone—like video recording apps or game emulators—alongside with the App Store ones. The upcoming Pwnage will support the classic iPhone, the iPod touch, and the iPhone 3G. The video shows it works great

Good find, but isn't this a moot point.

I mean, who is really going to pay full price for an iPhone just to use on another carrier's network. I'd have to bet that the demand for jailbroken iPhones is not nearly as high as it was with the 1st Generation iPhone.

Also, why buy a 3G device when networks like TMobile don't even have a 3G network?

These are just my thoughts. I think that the price of the 1st generation iPhone will stay level and continue to sell on eBay and such.

EDIT: Disregard above points -- I totally blacked out and thought that we were talking about Unlocking, not Jailbreaking. Rock On for the Jailbreaking!

thats only for the firmware though. this proves the iphone 3g can be unlocked. they are confirming it works with the new iphone. each iphone/ipod is a little different. notice how there is a different option for the 3g iphone

you are wrong

that proves they've JAILBROKEN the 3G, they have not said explicitly that they have UNLOCKED it

the 3g and the 3g run different basebands

o whoops i meant to say jailbroken. who would unlock a 3g iphone anyways.
 
I wish they'd release the damn thing so I could upgrade my old gen iPhone.
 
Being that the current 2.0 software is a bit wobbly, I wonder if the Dev Team is waiting to see if Apple will drop a stability update sooner than usual. I for one would prefer Apple give us a stable OS; fix my choppy scrolling, app crashes, and laggy typing before I jailbreak.

Europeans like myself? :)

If I could unlock the iphone onto Vodafone Ireland's 3G network of around 6mb in the Dublin area I would. Thats some crazy speed :D

That's not the only type of crazy speed being past around in Dublin :D

But yeah, if we could get a pay as you go from UK or the North and then unlock them to run on Vodafone IRL it would be sweet alright, even down here in the bogland of Kerry :D

hahahaha! :D :D

Defo about the PAYG in NI

But I even heard of a mate of mine who works for Voda IE and he said even rural Ireland is getting 3mb of 3G!!! (Yes even Kerry!!)

Yeah we can't get decent roads, but mobile broaband rocks :D

I get 2mb down and 1mb upload on my O2 mobile broadband here and I'm right next to the sea :)
 
I'll believe it when I can actually do it. Right now all the DevTeam has given us is vaporware--videos claiming how easy it is to perform the JB and vague claims that they may eventually release a program or a protocol to the public.

Nothing but hype insofar as I can see.
