geohot - unlocked iPhone

Well that didn’t take too long. A team at iphonesimfree.com has unlocked the iPhone and proven it is usable on the T-Mobile network in the US. This will be especially good news to all those folks in Europe and Asia who have been wanting iPhones but have been unable to get them. A 17-year old from NJ, George Hotz, collaborated with four others to unlock the phone. It requires soldering and software modifications, but it works. Engadget has some of the details.

Want to bid on the phone? It’s up on eBay right now…as of this post it’s selling for $2175.
