Can I ask a really dumb question? Because this is a GSM phone, it'll never work with Sprint no matter what because Sprint doesn't do GSM. Right? So if one wanted Sprint on the iPhone - it'll never ever happen. Right?
 
im guessing you can't read posts properly.

go to the irc and look @ the MOTD the website link is in it, its up to you find it, you can't post the website link so stop dissing about no proof.

No it will not. But you already knew that, didn't you.
 
I like the way that they try to equate hacking the software of a phone with patriotism. You go girls.
 
Preliminary support for modified sim cards from Orange. Looks like they are really working their way through it.
 
If people want a widescreen iPod, wait for one. This is AT&T's iPhone.

I had also hoped that Apple would be successful at keeping all the 'hacksters' stumped.

I agree. It's unfortunate that T-Mobile or any other carrier does not have the iPhone. But it is AT&T's phone. I am also rooting for Apple and the iPhone to be hackproof.
 
exactly

and its unfair they are releasing the european version so much later :mad: :mad: they deserve this
Manufacturing capacity, licking the 3G battery drain issue, the Qualcomm/Broadcom 3G patent suit, engineering a marketing agreement in a much more sophisticated and complex cell phone environment. Lots of issues at work here, I suspect.
 
we can duplicate activation/deactivation bulletproof
with an "existing" token
it means we understand the activation method clearly
so next step is to reverse engineer the token sent by apple

this includes iphones that have never been activated?
yessir
 
Can I ask another newbie question? What exactly will our options be if this opens up? We can go with 3g then? (assuming the phone won't blow up, etc)

No... the hardware has to support 3G before you could use it on the phone. If it were completely unlocked, it would most likely allow for iPod, web, and most phone features (e.g. not visual voicemail) on other GSM/EDGE networks, such as T-Mobile USA.
