Nice

No ANY network... just any GSM network... since you still need a sim card

It only works on T Mobile and AT&T

Got one Monday. I did the 999-9999-99 SSN thing to make the activation offer the "pick your plan", so I wouldn't be forced into the 2-year bondage to AT&T (my use is far more internet than actual "phone" anyway).

It's amazing (maybe a little scary) how a device like this can go from "cool novelty" to "something you depend on" in a very short time...

Movies, by the way, are really something to see on it. Assuming you have good source material (like DVD's encoded with Handbrake...done right, they look way better than the iTunes Store offerings).

He probably got the hack from this guy:

Watchwww.youtube.com

LOL the guy interviewing looks real serious and pist off.

Just stay away from the firmware updates....rumor has it that Apple already has a counterhack and it will lock the phone up again...

And than somebody will figure out a counterhack against apple. This will never stop.

i'm pretty sure there's more than just at&t and t-mobile who have gsm networks.

All-tel and some other small companies that just piggy back off the big companies' towers...

Alltell is not a small company.. andx Iknowfor a fact that they dont JUST piggy back off other companies. I used to work for a place who did all their tower work in the NC area... and they have more towers then most of the other phone comapanies around here

notice i said alltell AND some small companies.. but compared to tmobile and Att, alltell is small... they are a regional company... tmobile and att is nationwide.. hell tmobile is world wide... tmobile USA, Tmobile Europe, Tmobile Asia...

Look at NVS taking up for TMobile.

Haha...no.... just don't like "chad" from the alltell commercials

just don't update...i'm using a iphone in canada with 2 sim's on 2 different carriers. It's a very nice phone. If you have "unlocked" your phone, just wait till there is a update of unlocking software for the new firmware. you don't NEED to update.

I found this interesting..

Not trying to promote anything, but if i pay 500 dollars for something i think i have the right to use it with my provider as just a phone. WHich i am, and using wifi hoppin' for other things, not paying insane data charges here in canada, they have never heard of a unlimited plan...

so can you still use all the normal features on your plan? texts, internet etc? i hate this damn sidekick! was gonna go blackberry but the iphone is dope!

yes, i'm using everything, even better, i just jump on wifi networks to use email and web browsing, faster and free compared to paying INSANE data rates. Text's and phone etc are good, you don't get visual voicemail, but that's cause it's just a service offered by at&t that i know of. Other then that the interface and functionality is top notch, i just wish someone would make a dedicated reliable aim/yahoo/ MSN] chat client.

NIce! think im sold LOL. may have to hit you up about the unlock process.

so does it have msn/aim? thats one thing i like about the sidekick aside from email etc

whats that?

I rocking my iphone on t-mobile right now, unlocked it through www.iphonesimfree.com, $60 the unlock process took 5 minutes and BAM! No need to switch contracts. I even got the youtube working, just no visual voicemail (this is at&t specific).
Now if only i could get my phone tethered to my macbook to share internet, ive been following these directions but haven't gotten it to work yet: dragonforged.com

Like others have said be careful not to update itunes or the iphone just yet, have read that it bricks your nice new iphone, into ... well... a brick

Yes, the iTunes 7.4.2 version "broke" user-added ringtones (stay at iTunes 7.4.1), and the 1.1.1 firmware "upgrade" broke all user-added third-party applications *and* destroys some iPhones that have SIM-card hacks.

I'm definitely leaving my iPhone firmware at 1.0.2 at least until installer.app is updated to work with the newer version.

If anybody has an UNLOCKED phone that I can used on my Sprint service please email me

djwillie@gmail.com

I'm in either NJ / NYC or ORLANDO, FL

no dice for u... sprint and verizon are on cdma network, at&t and t-mobile (and pretty much the rest of the world) are on gsm, thats what allows u to unlock and change phones, u just insert your sim card and you're ready to go!

Just got my iPhone today. Ditched Sprint for it. I can't believe this thing!

Ok, I have a sidekick aswell, so who wants to give me info on an unlocked phone..?..My Sprint service expires in December....

What's the right way????? I do my moives @ 1411 kbps with 2 pass encoding & 160 kbps sound, now that they lower it. How do you do it?

^^^^^^lowered^^^^^^

Ohhhhhh...this b!tch is BAD! If you have the $$ to cancel and go to AT&T, do it!

lol ... i've had this for about three weeks now and to me, i guess it has lost much of it's cool factor. but hey, can't argue with browsing internet from anywhere (i have att)
