[toby2604]

So has it actually worked? Prrof any1? Would be sooo good if it worked! We'll have to wait and see what features work on T-Mobile etc and what doesn't! Please post pics etc of unlocked ones!

I think he's full of crap. the phone needs our data service to even operate. I didn't see any user-configurable data settings that he could even reset to t-mobile's service. and forget about visual voicemail

i agree sounds like bs

I'll post if/when I get my unlock code...

I guess we will just have to wait and see. If these guys can't do it, it will be only be a short time before someone else can

I don't doubt they'll unlock it soon enough, and since all the unscrupulous eyes in America are looking at the iPhone it'll happen a damn sight faster than it would to most phones but it'll take more than a few hours. Nokia have phones that are about two years old that still require you to hire a USB dongle in order to unlock. Being able to do it through a website seems kinda absurd. At the very best, without being on an AT&T network you won't be able to use a lot of network dependent features, like the Visual Voicemail.

From ZDNet:

"SIM card experiences: I then popped my T-Mobile SIM in the iPhone and this appeared on the display:

Incorrect SIM: This iPhone must be used with an approved SIM.

However, even with the T-Mobile SIM in there the WiFi DOES work. So it seems you may be able to get it “unlocked” and activated with an AT&T SIM and then use it as an iPod and WiFi connected device after that."

So it sounds as you can do anything, except making a call, text messaging and voice mail.

hmm but first for the tmobile sim to be able to use wifi and stuff you have to have it activated with ATT right? mainly all i want the phone for is for ipod /web browsing etc...

Exactly. You have to go through the normal AT&T activation process. I would also be satisfied with the iPod, Internet, camera etc. -- until it will be released in Europe in 6 months or so. I'm not that talkative anyway.

Having said that, there are a couple of unlocking "projects" under way at this point of time. The following days will be very interesting.
