The iPhone Dev Team is hard at work trying to unlock the iPhone 3G, and soon may have it figured out. The video above shows a 3G whose baseband has been modified, and still runs - so developers are close but not quite there.
You can currently find a 1st generation iPhone on ebay for more than $700, but you can be sure demand and prices will drop if devs figure out how to unlock the 3G. So if you're looking to unload a 1st generation iPhone you better do it fast, or you can say goodbye to that large payback.
The iPhone Dev Team is working hard on unlocking the 3G and have posted some more news, so check out the entirety of their post after the break...
3G Update We made some significant 3G progress this week. Here’s a screenshot of a 3G iPhone whose baseband has been modified. And even though it’s modified — and fails the integrity check — it’s still running. Can you guess where the patch was made? Running modified baseband code is a very useful ability, but it’s still not possible to accurately estimate how close we are to the ultimate goal.
