Unlock your iPhone 3G with yellowsn0w

We're always a little wary of 'beta' software (except maybe Gmail), so we advise you proceed with caution should you want to unlock your iPhone 3G with yellowsn0w. But if you're desperate to use your Apple handset with any sim card, it might be worth a punt. The work of Dev-Team, yellowsn0w works with the iPhone's latest v2.2 firmware (in fact, it actually requires it), giving you the freedom to swap networks as you please. Well, in theory anyway. Initial feedback describes the success rate as hit and miss, some people getting full functionality with alternative networks, others getting part use and the seriously unlucky getting nothing at all. None of which exactly fills us with confidence. We're not saying 'avoid' right now, just think carefully before you use it. And don't come running to us if your Apple phone goes horribly pear-shaped.
