- rudy23, on 10/10/2007, -1/+150do they take apple store credit ;)
- fernB, on 10/10/2007, -1/+93their new slogan: "AT&T the home of the most dropped iPhone users"
- gharding, on 10/10/2007, -2/+88So uh, where's the torrent?
- sekou, on 10/10/2007, -4/+77$100? One Hundred Dollars? Tell me something....why do I get the feeling the bulk of those who complained about the price of the iPhone (and it's subsequent $200.00 price drop) will have NO issue shelling money out for this thing?
- nunofgs, on 10/10/2007, -4/+66***** that. Hackers of the world unite! Let's get this thing for free.
- linkdj, on 10/10/2007, -1/+57Let the iPhone Unlocking Unlocking begin!
- retrospect, on 10/10/2007, -2/+58It's a tough choice, stay with t-mobile and get the iphone, potentially pay this money for the unlock hack only to find out several weeks later people are doing it for free and hope that apple doesn't release a major update to cripple unlocked iphones. Or keep my current phone and buy an ipod touch... which will probably be hacked to run everything the iphone does.. decisions.. decisions...
- CosmicBlend, on 10/10/2007, -0/+38I wonder how long it will take to reverse engineer it to give out free codes
- Ebacherville, on 10/10/2007, -3/+37100.00 what a joke... ill wait for the real hackers to come out with onevfor free
- cfarmer8, on 10/10/2007, -1/+35Sadly I paid the $100 about 1 hour ago still no software just "Your order has been received and will be processed shortly."
- linkdj, on 10/10/2007, -3/+34I always liked "Your World. Delivered. To the NSA."
- retrospect, on 10/10/2007, -1/+30From the site:
2. Is it resistant to updates?
While we have taken all possible measures to ensure that the phone will remain unlocked, we can only guarantee the current released versions of updates (up to and including 1.0.2). With any of these versions, even if the phone is fully restored, the phone will remain unlocked.
13. Do you offer 100% money back guarantee if the software does not work?
The unlock WILL work. We cannot offer any guarantee should Apple Inc. choose to re-lock the phone after a future update. - willgonz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+29$100 is steep for a hack that could be turned off by Apple tomorrow.
- ibeetle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+26Unfortunately you may be waiting quite awhile their Update page says:
The company we are working with to bring you the unlocking solution for your iPhone is not ready yet. We are not certain of a date yet to give you of when it will become available. We are working as diligently as possible to make sure that it is ready for you as soon as possible.
So technically nobody really has any software to sell. - ibeetle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17Now this is a little eye brow raising. From the U.S. retailer that will be handling the selling of this software; Wireless Imports; Per their Update page:
UPDATE
The company we are working with to bring you the unlocking solution for your iPhone is not ready yet. We are not certain of a date yet to give you of when it will become available. We are working as diligently as possible to make sure that it is ready for you as soon as possible.
So is this software available or not? Even the reseller does not seem too sure. - bsonline, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18Wow, your sarcasm sensor is top notch.
- Speed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Let's think about this in terms of people savvy enough to unlock cell phones... Already spent $400-600 USD on the iPhone, and they could spend $100 to buy the software, or they could spend 0 dollars and torrent it. Which is more likely?
- betasp, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16No. Besides, How could they?
- uidzero, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Whoa whoa whoa, hold up. Are you telling me, there are countries outside of the US? You've got to be pulling my leg. Why is this the first I have heard of this? I'll research this later, we have to go burn some witches at the stake that were found guilty of practicing metric.
- ivorylion, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13It's only $50.00 if you buy the unlock from the Australian retailer.
- iMags, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Let's crack the unlocking software for free usage!
...or something like that - TheKricket, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12i gotta tell you - its more stressful than anything you can imagine - just think about it - i have to carry around a phone AND an ipod! sometimes when i need to make a call, and im listening to my ipod, my nose starts to bleed!
- Aleks, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15I think I'll just wait for the cracked torrent. What's next a warez group asking $200 for the adobe cs3 keygen?
I buy all my mac software but asking $100 is just as bad as NBC asking $5 for a tv show. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Once again the Americans strike. SIM cards are available for absolutely free in many countries.
- Cyber_Akuma, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10let the unlocking begin!
$100 US dollars
let the torrenting begin! - bsonline, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11That's it, man, stick it to 'em. Don't buy their old really expensive item, get the new one!
(Sent from my iPhone) - Cyber_Akuma, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Thats what people say about DRM keys...
- ram100987, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10ridiculous, I'm sure soon enough there will be easy ways to unlock it for much cheaper if not completely free. Let the open source community get a hold of it and I'm sure it will be a free mod very soon after!
- Whaines, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Who the ***** still uses limewire?
- Ireland, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Wont work with a torrent, Engadget say they are phone specific. I.E. if you buy one it will 'only' work on your phone.
- l33tsauce, on 10/10/2007, -7/+14one word, FREEDOM. Stop thinking about just Americans here. There are 7 billions other people outside of the State and their only way of using the iphone is to unlock it. $100 is a VERY small price to pay for an unlock version of a phone as impressive as the iphone.
- diblasio, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9No problem. At least I got to dig you down twice.
- Branden, on 10/10/2007, -0/+71. No.
2. Matters where you live/what you want for service. - rudy23, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6yes
- o2o2o2o2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+61. apple makes iphone
2. hackers unlock iphone
3. hackers hack the hackers unlocker.
4. appears on torrents. - ThankTheCheese, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6hmm this is tempting. Anyone know if it is possible to restore the iPhone back to original (pre-hack) in case you need to bring it in for warranty repairs?
I read that this software survives a restore, so I'm not sure how you'd get rid of it? - fr0mundacheese, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10DIdnt notice but...Are they guaranteeing against any Apple-countering-workaround to disable?
- pintomp3, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8wow, that's kinda steep. maybe they will drop the price in a couple months.
- Cyber_Akuma, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5"I read that this software survives a restore, so I'm not sure how you'd get rid of it?"
Simple, install the 1.0.3 update that Apple will release in about 4 hours... - willcoll, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7I doubt apple cares. They just passed 1mil phones. More unlocked phones mean better business. AT&T is probably pushing for something Im sure.
- TheKricket, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5just a note - for those of you interested - one of the retailers listed on the iphonesimfree.com site is selling the unlock for about $50 usd - the company is based in australia, but claims to do "worldwide" unlocking
im not defending any prices on this (or recommending the aussie site - deal with them at your own risk) - just putting out the info... - Cyber_Akuma, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Maybe you should buy english lessons first.
- dognose, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5WARNING! "The software has not been released yet, so we are taking pre orders of this and ordering in bulk the licenses from iPhoneSimFree. When the orders are confirmed we will be servicing out Ebay customers and also reselling the software from this site using Paypal and Credit Card Payments. "
Could this go down as the biggest scam in history when they are shut down before they deliver to "retail" customers? Ok, maybe not the biggest, but, still, big. - Raydr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5You tried just a little too hard.
- kitchung, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4T-Mobile may ask for $20 but the phone rep says the local stores may give it to you for free.
- locojones, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5This is going to be so funny when they take all these apple nerds' money and then the website mysteriously vanishes, along with all your cash. Stupid asses.
- ydt89, on 10/10/2007, -0/+49. ????
10. Profit! - javajockey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Wow, I'm surprised that T-Mobile is not on the list of current retailers that sell the Unlocking software
- Cyber_Akuma, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Dammit, stupid double-post. Digg this one down.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Well it was the first thing I was thinking about too (without having read the engadget story) so shut your festering yap-hole.
