Jailbreak!
I just used the jailbreakme.com website to break my iphone. Very painless, although a bit worrisome, as you sit an watch the base level code streaming on your screen...YIKES! However, the entire process is automated and it even installs Cydia on your phone, so you can begin to download those rogue apps that Apple will not approve.
In my case, the first app was ultrasn0w, which is an unlock program to allow you to use your iPhone on another carrier. Now, when I get to TV in Sept., I just need to pop an AT&T or T-Mobile SIM into the iPhone and I'm in business.
Anyone else used jailbreakme.com ? How was your experience ?
In addition to unlocking, I also installed an app to allow multi-tasking (my iPhone is a 3G) and MyWi, which makes the iPhone a WiFi hotspot (like the Droid X). Both programs work fantastically....
Words of caution: Jailbreaking will void your Apple warranty and unlocking will NOT make your iPhone capable of functioning on Verizon, Sprint or any other non-GSM network. If your iPhone is more than one year old, the warranty is a non-issue.
