And it is.
Unlocked != Jailbroken != Activated.

Your iPhone is still unlocked, it's just not activated anymore.
This is because of a new activation scheme that Apple introduced in 3.0 (notice that when you upgrade the progress window says "Contacting Activation Server"?)

Some people had success somehow by disconnecting the computer before upgrading or going from 2.0.2 to 3.0 or from a 3.0 Beta to the final 3.0, but I was unsuccessful at any attempt (well, I didn't try going from 2.0.2 or 3.0 beta to 3.0 GM actually).

You don't need to wait for the 3.0 jailbreak though, you can restore to 2.2.1 and jailbreak it again with QuickPwn.
