Just started the process of updating my iphone 2G to version 3.0. My plan was to use the iPhone Dev team solution however when I updated the phone via iTunes I noticed that the phone showed the Vodafone network with no issues reported (on previous updates it does not connect to the network) so I thought I'd try a call before I jailbreak'd the handset and then unlocked it. Guess what.... it worked!!!
Am I just lucky or has Apple given everyone a present once the handsets are out of contract and unlocked them for us?
