iPhoneSIMfree goes retail, let the unlocking begin
After numerous delays and endless cries of "hoax!", it looks like the iPhoneSIMfree iPhone unlocking software is finally available for purchase from four online retailers around the world. Wireless Imports in the US, iPhoneWorldwideUnlock in Australia, 1digitalphone in Germany, and iPhone4arab in Saudi Arabia (currently down) have all purchased bulk licenses from the iPhoneSIMfree team and are selling individual unlocks for around $100 (Update: that price is just from the US etailer, it seems; looks like the Aussies are letting it go for under 50 bucks American. Also, the Hackint0sh community is already busy at work trying to snatch these sites' code as we speak). Go nuts, and let us know your initial experiences below...
Update:The Hackint0sh guys claim they will not be reverse engineering the iPhoneSIMfree software. Ok, well, whatever. Scratch that. That crew definitely seems to be reverse engineering the IPSF solution, and frankly we can't blame 'em.
Update:























So, anyone made it through the process yet?
Here is the link to download the sotware

I hope this doesn't violate any sort of Engadget ToS or anything but (as with everything online, these days) it's available free, here:

Of course, this is likely NOT legal but what sort of copyrights could an anti-copyright institution have on their software..?
As for me, I have a Dash - great phone (thanks for the recommendation, Veronica!)
has anyone used these iPhone moses guys? http://www.iphonemoses.com
i can't tell if they're iphonesimfree resellers or if they have their own software?
Yes it works.. i've tried it with these guys and also with a free version from hacktheiphone.com which gives you a very detailed procedure.
have to say the iphonesimfree version is a bit smoother, but free is free..
