iPhone unlocked (again!)

A teen hacker known for his deftness with iPhones has figured out how to unlock models running the latest firmware versions by cracking a protection that has frustrated hackers for weeks.

The breakthrough by George Hotz, aka Geohot, means people who have bought a recent iPhone will once again be able to use it on the phone network of their choice. Apple makes as much as $400 for every handset that's activated on an approved network, so its developers have worked hard to prevent the so-called unlocking of iPhones.

First Impressions

• Touch screen is great really and responsiveness is quick.
  
• Screen gets dirty easily with your fingers but screen is so bright that you rarely notice it.
• Video conversion is a mess but after you convert your video it is a pleasure to watch it.
• Screen is not small to watch a video at all.
• Sides of the screen gets dirt and dust but wipe cloth seems to work for them too.
• Taking photos is a little problem because of the touch screen. You need to be careful not to touch the button before you are ready to shoot.
• Photo quality is not bad if there is enough light.
• Without wi-fi you really do not get aware of what iPhone is. Many applications assume you have wi-fi or at least EDGE: Weather, stocks, youtube, map.
  

I have my iPhone at last!
