Default Emergency - please help me!!

I just purchased a 1st generation brand new in box, 16gb iphone. It came still wrapped in package. It has 1.1.4 on it, I think. When I plug into iTunes, it wants me to activate with AT&T, but I don't want to do that, I want to use it on T-Mobile. What do I do to unlock/jailbreak to be able to use it. Right now the AT&T Sim is in the phone, do I put my t-mobile sim before attempting to jailbreak/unlock? Please help asap!!

Thanks!!

I tried that but the phone just hangs in "locating phone", and itunes says phone is in recovery mode, do you want to restore?

well you should update to the most recent firmware and check out winpwn if you're on a pc or pwnage if you are on a mac. these applications let you jailbreak and unlock your phone so you will be able to use it on the t-mobile network

If themanofthedark thanked you for encouraging people to use google, I think that is awesome. So I thank you!
