You can activate it right now if you'd like to. I'm using a Canadian FIDO phone here in Sweden which I activated here using winpwn. I'm using a sim solution right now. Works perfectly, but of course I'd feel much safer and comfortable using a dev team developed software unlock.

So you are telling me that i can activate this Fido phone without calling Fido and singning a contract with them using Wingpwn and use my rogers sim card in it?

You can always activate it, but you won't be able to use it as a phone until an unlock comes, or by using a turbosim. But you can use it as ipod touch and use wifi on it.

If you use winpwn it will activate the phone for you. As will quickpwn.

Even if i can use it as ipod and use the wifi in it, i m happy.sooner or later dev team will come up with something. I just hate to leave it in my drawer. is there any tutorial of how to use the winpwn or quickpwn? Which version of winpwn should i download? and from where?

Thanks for your answers. i appreciate it.

does neone know when this software unlock will come out?

No time estimation. Work is still on track..

This forum is teaching us so much. It started with hacking and now it ended with figures of speech .. Accidentally on purpose. :hack:

guys,i thought you might wanna know this...
here in Egypt,the iPhone was released on Friday 14-11-2009
ofcourse i couldn't miss that,so i went to know the specific details,and here's what we all might think is interesting...the iPhone 3G here is locked to Vodafone(not AT&T)!!!

I wonder whether there is any way to spoof iphone serial number? If that would be achieved we could mask the device under a serial number of a country, where itunes update unlocks your phone (New Zealand, etc.).
