The Iphone that blew up during unlock attempt.

I have been reading that apparently lots of people from different parts of the world have found ways to unlock there Iphones so that they can be used on different networks.

The first person to successfully Unlock an Iphone was a 17 years old called George Hotz from New Jersey in the U.S., he then swapped his unlocked Iphone for a car (Nissan 350Z) and three other locked Iphones, after he had problems selling it on Ebay his blog is here
Mr Hotz blog,





But it appears not everybody has been able to unlock there Iphone successfully, apparently there was one attempt that went horribly wrong, and during the the unlock process the Iphone went up in puff of smoke, The picture below pretty much tells the story of the demise of the poor Iphone
After it happened they left comments on a forum about it,
“We were so happy, all the software part was done, so we started opening the Iphone. The antenna cover was a bit tricky but eventually it came off. Then we started to open the metal cover (after taking out the 3 screws) and PUFF, up it went in smoke, I think my colleague must have touched something. It literally went up in black smoke. I was so hot that when I tried to pick it up I burnt my fingers. So, this is for sure the most difficult part of the whole process. I don’t know what he did, as I had just stepped out of the room to fetch something when I heard a scream…they got such a fright.”

Soon they will probably be unlocking the Iphone for next to nothing, so unless you are very brave its probably best not to open an Iphone and play around.

Will The iPhone Work Here?

The touch- screen three-in-one device (iPod, computer, cellphone) debuted last june 29 in the U.S. The iPhone features a large display to see everything better, WIFI for surfing at coffee shops, a camera to take snapshots, and a unique "multi-touch" control scheme that lets you do everything with your fingertips. That's why there's only four physical buttons on this gadget.If you flew to the US and brought back an iPhone, would it work here? the answer is a categorical no. The iPhone is currently designed to work only with the networks of AT&T, the partner of apple. If you're out of the US- you can't call or text anyone. No, you can't swap out the SIM: it's built into the device.
Yes, you can still use the iPhone's music playback and web surfing capabilities. But who wnats to pay hundreds of dollars for that? If you're really interested in the iPhone, I suggest wait until A pple makes it available locally in 2008.
