Having an unlocked iPhone has always been a tradeoff–you can get some cool 3rd party apps but trying to install firmware updates is a huge pain in the arse. Still, the urge to rebel and personalise your phone the way you want is strong–and there will always be a large group of people who will hack their iPhone just because they can. So, the question is would you unlock a 3G iPhone even when there are good SDK apps to be had?

Depends on if I found some rad App that wasn’t available on the AppStore, then I may JailBreak the beast just to have a go, but here is Oz DownUnder I am still an iPhone virgin so come mid June I will be a new man. I believe that the iPhone will not be tied to a particular carrier here in Oz DownUnder so no need to Unlock.

after unlocking a 2g Iphone i would do the same again when the 3g comes out. The software developer community and endless apps is one of the things that attracts me to this phone over a boring Nokia.
