Unlock is done in just seconds. The most interesting is that you can swap the sim after activating (from T-D1 to O2 for example) and there is no need to reactive or unlock the iPhone again.]]>Nov 26th 2007 5:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/Nov 26th 2007 6:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/Nov 26th 2007 7:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/Nov 26th 2007 6:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/Nov 26th 2007 5:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/Nov 27th 2007 6:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/
I wonder if it sends the IMEI each time you connect the iPhone to iTunes in order to check whether it is authorised to be unlocked or not? That could make things more interesting...]]>Nov 26th 2007 6:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/

So, if you have to wait 24hours after buying the phone before it can be unlocked, how does this take "just seconds"?]]>Nov 26th 2007 8:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/Nov 26th 2007 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/What's interesting about that? What phone has ever had a physical difference between locked or unlocked? It's just a software change.]]>Nov 26th 2007 8:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/If you build a house, why don't you have a key?
I guess apple's auth. unlocker can even run an update without problems]]>Nov 26th 2007 8:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/Nov 26th 2007 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/This issue has nothing to do with a phone being locked or not, since you are not using SIM cards from other operators but your original SIM card in roaming mode. The same will be with your friend, it will depend on the original carrier he/she would be using and the agreements of this carrier with foreign carriers while roaming.]]>Nov 26th 2007 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/Nov 26th 2007 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/Nov 26th 2007 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/Nov 26th 2007 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/Nov 26th 2007 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/Nov 26th 2007 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/
As much as I'd love to be enthusiastic about this whole thing, I just know how this is going to end. ]]>Nov 26th 2007 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/Nov 26th 2007 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/
On the other side of the equasion...no video, only 2MP camera, no mms, no auto-focus in camera, extra 20 a month for it's plan, no sending of files over bluetooth, and no using as modem either...

Part of me wants it and another part of me wants to wait till Sony's phone with 5mp camera comes...what to do?]]>Jan 22nd 2008 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/apples-itunes-unlocks-iphones-in-germany/Jan 22nd 2008 4:20PM
