It's not totally new, but hackers have sucessfully unlocked the iPhone using only an $80 Turbo SIM and various software/SSH. It was reported on the iPhone blog, but received only 7 comments and was quickly off the first page.

WHY?? This is incredible! For anyone not keeping track, this has been one of the hardest phones to unlock so far. It's not only great news for the hackers who took part, but Apple users worldwide. I know that I'm going to be watching the forums like crazy, once a good sampling of guinea pigs have tried it and a simple (i.e. iFuntastic) method comes around.

Is this news to anyone, or are you all just shrugging is off?
 
I knew about this. And would like to try it. But i think im going to hold out for a software unlock where i don't need to change anything with hardware to unlock my phone. Maybe everyone else is feeling the same? The turbo sims are sold out right now too. so.
