Hackers Unlock iPhone 3G

"The iPhone Dev Team plans to release an iPhone 3G unlocking procedure and software on New Year's Eve. They've codenamed it yellowsn0w. To implement yellowsn0w you'll have to already have jailbroken (baseband 2.11.07 or earlier) your iPhone 3G to run third-party applications.

"By unlocking your iPhone you'll be able to use it wither GSM carriers other than Apple's official operator partners, which includes the very first iPhone partner, AT&T. As a result, you'll be able to keep your T-Mobile service, if you're partial to it, and still use the iPhone, for example."
