hate to ruin your big day, but have you considered waiting another month to find out what will happen with V. 2? all indications show a better phone at a considerably reduced price. if you're like me, you'll throw caution to the wind and just go get your phone. if you've got a bit of patience, i'd say wait it out.

otherwise, yes...you'll need the most recent version of iTunes to get started. there's a Sticky created by John that shows the steps to unlocking. i'd look at that also.

That's the spirit... get it and enjoy it now. It's the American thing to do.

I think rumors of a substantially cheaper V2 iPhone are greatly exaggerated. And feature-wise, it's looking like 3G and maaaaybe GPS but that's about it. So if you don't really need those things, I say go for it today!

Well you won't be buying online today, that's for sure....



I'd, uh...wait buddy.

You buy one today and they announce the new one this week (with much better features) and
your gonna be pissed!

Of course you could prolly just take it back and get the new one to.

Good Luck and Enjoy!

I'd wait. You've gone this long, might as well stick it out and get an improved phone at the same or better price point.
