iPhone Version 1.1.1 Unlocked
When Apple dropped its iPhone update late last month to version 1.1.1, the company disabled hacks that allowed the phone to be used with carriers other than AT&T. We speculated that was the beginning of what would be a long and drawn-out war against the hackers. If that proves to be the case, consider this report the next strike: The iphoneSimFree team has offered the first unlock for the 1.1.1 iPhone. The software, available from a variety of sources linked off of the iPhoneSimFree site, retails for about $60 and unlocks the latest iPhones. But, the company is generously giving the latest update free to any previous customer who ran the 1.1.1 update and was left with a shiny black brick.
So what's the next step in this battle? Will Apple chose to continue the melee with yet another software update? Or, will it take a cue from 'Halo 3' and "finish the fight" with direct legal action against the unlockers? Surely the response can't be far off.

I got bought an iphone as a present and was over the moon to get it! I was good and thought I would purchase the simfree application (from freeit4less.com) and everything went fine!
Then I accidentally installed the new version on my iphone and got an iphone brick. Freeit4less.com were very helpful and I managed to reactivate my iphone but not sim unlock it, so they told me to flash the baseband and sent me to a website and told me to copy it! I did everything EXACTLY as it was stated on the website. Which then bricked my iphone! So I do not recommend you try it! Since then, where all the websites state "restore/ downgrade to version 1.0.2", my iphone will not do it! It will only accept the 1.1.1 version! So, anyone got any help other than what freeit4less offered me of "send it back to Apple and purchase a new one"?! As I do not have a spare $400 laying around!

Freeit4less and their "solution" are worthless. They're misleading in their tutorials, don't provide complete information, and their tech supports sucks. I'm trying to get my money back and make sure others with 1.1.1 firmware don't give these crooks any more business. See my blog entry about this: freeit4less.blogspot.com/

rms, please stop plastering comments everywhere. This obviously works for lots of people, including everyone here, inluding on firmware 1.1.1 now. Upgradeable to firmware 1.1.2. Email me and stop already...or rather wish you hadn't posted this five ays ago.
