Default Teenager from Jersey unlocked I Phone

George Hotz, 17, says he's unlocked an iPhone and is using T-Mobile's network
Apple's iPhone is exclusive to AT&T's wireless network
Calls to AT&T and Apple for comment were not immediately returned
Hotz has posted instructions on his blog
http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/ptech/0...ef=mpstoryview

I think it is funny that they are worried about the Oversea sales of the I Phone if this unlocking becomes mainstream.

here is a link to his blog. Apperently he wants to sell the phone and get a new car.

you have no idea. someone could be making a lot of mula if this plan is executed quickly and correctly

there are i don't know how many ipeople around the world who are pissed because only the americans can use this product.

" Hotz collaborated online with four other people, two of them in Russia, to develop the unlocking process."
