On Unlocking
Is it really worth it? I mean, aside from the technical challenge, who will really benefit from it? I hear the phone is sold unlocked for +$80 AUD in Australia. Here, the best way to get a phone is to buy one from AT&T then cancel it, $200+$35+175=$410. You are better off buying an old iPhone off eBay. With locate me, how much will a GPS really help? And here in the states, T-Mobile 3G won’t work.
I’m curious as to what amplifier chip the phone uses though. The number one question I got from people about the old iPhone unlock is “Will it work with Verizon?” Now it could be possible.
I still don’t know how I’m getting my hands on a device. And if I’m not sure, how will everyone else who wants one get one? Apple, this is really a step backward for the consumer. I’m disappointed in you.
