iPhone unlocked: AT&T loses iPhone exclusivity, August 24, 2007, 12:00PM EDT

It's high noon, Apple and AT&T -- we really hate to break it to you, but the jig is up. Last night the impossible was made possible: right in front of our very eyes we witnessed a full SIM unlock of our iPhone with a small piece of software. It's all over, guys.

The iPhoneSIMfree.com team called us up to prove their claim that they cracked Apple's iPhone SIM lock system, and prove it they did. (No, we don't have a copy of the unlock software, so don't even ask us, ok?) The six-man team has been working non-stop since launch day, and they're officially the first to break Apple's SIM locks on the iPhone. It's done. Seriously. They wouldn't tell us when and how they would release it to the public, but you can certainly bet that they'll try to make a buck on their solution (and rightly so). We can hardly believe the iPhone's finally been cracked. No, scratch that -- we just can't believe it took this long.

Again: we can confirm with 100% certainty that iPhoneSIMfree.com's software solution completely SIM unlocks the iPhone, is restore-resistant, and should make the iPhone fully functional for users outside of the US. Read on for details and links to our video, and check out the gallery of images below.

For some reason, I'm finding this hard to believe. With Apple being overly portective with their stuff, you'd figure that such a site will be seeing law suits all over the place. Although I'm sure it's bound to to be hacked for other services such as Verizon and Sprint.

Peronally, if this is true, I still wont buy the iPhone, for I think it's a waste. There's total lack of hardware features that I love on my current phone. After 5 minutes of playing with the iPhone, I actually got bored of it.

Why would Apple care if the SIM is unlocked? That means more people can buy the iPhone. AT&T will have a problem with this.

Because it gives Apple a reason to sue the hacker for millions of dollars in damages and infringement...

Oh well... That's apple's fault for not expanding their phone to other carriers to make even more money, instead they wanted to make this rediculous contract to get royalties, commissions, control and even more money.

i would not get a iphone unless it was like $100, know whats going to happen is apple is going to release a new iphone just like the ipods.

or, you could buy a cheaper clone.Hewkii

It will probably be a better investment to get that anyways.
