Unlock your iPhone in less than 5 minutes

If you want to own an iPhone, but don’t want to switch your cell phone service over to AT&T you may have another option. iPhoneUnlocking.com claims to have created iPhone unlocking software for the 3G iPhone that unlocks the firmware up to the current version 2.2. Supposedly the software can unlock your phone in less than 5 minutes, and then the phone will be able to take any GSM smartcard from any cellphone carrier. The catch is the updates to the software aren’t free- so if you buy the service you’ll have to keep buying it if you want to update your iPhone’s firmware. Unlocking your phone also voids you warranty from Apple, so if you have any problems with the phone afterwards you won’t have the option of taking it back to the store. [via i4u]
