I came across thi while reading the local paper and as we all know, when you buy an iPhone, you also need to sign up with AT&T's internet services. A guy named George Hotz or simply known on his blog(http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com/) "Geohot" has cracked the phone and actually used a T-Mobile SIM Card on it!

Anyways, you can check out his blog and see the steps on how to hack an iPhone here:

Good Luck on hacking you iPhone!

Currently about a half-dozen companies/groups have claimed capabilities to unlock the iPhone. From what I understand, there are about 4 different ways to go about it ranging from:

Hardward Unlock (soldering)
Fake/Hacked SIM card
Software Unlock (The most ideal method)
Combo. Hard/Soft ware unlock.

The method posted on the site you linked, looks like a combo unlock. It's very dangerous messing with the hardware in your phone. Not only instantly voiding your warrenty, you also risk shocking yourself via the battery terminals inside.

Why do I wish that, when I know I'll neva get it :P

Yea it sucks for non-US residents at the moment... it's not available here too :(

@Derek: If I am not mistaken, I think Verizon uses a different technology for their network... I don't think they use SIM Cards...

Why doesn't iPhone use normal SIM cards??

I will not find it surprising to buy a SGD 1000 forthis iphone in Singapore, since many Apple Fans are all growing money in their bank for this type of phones.

I love to have it but no $$$ and it very expensive for such a phone, I mean I have to asked myself , do I need all the function in there ?, do I use most of the function in my handphone? How much more additional cost do I need to spend on programs I need in that phone? If none of these function I need, basically I will just wait till I really need a super smart phone but it doesn't since to come.

There's no point buying a phone that is so expensive and yet for show. The function in there the chances of me using will be very slim also.
