Ive had the original 2g iphone 1.1.2 since last March ,ive raved about it that much that my g-friend had one shortly after me ,and then this xmass her younger sister wanted one ,so i went and got her one (for her bfriend to give to her for xmass -nice suprise
) now I bought a ligit O2 phone off ebay from the UK -not jail broken -and got my sis-inlaw to swap to O2 so everthing would work on xmass -OR so i taught -long story short it didnt and even O2 told me to "go on the web and find the unlocking software" He was very technical :D
Now Ive unlocked mine from the 1.1.2 all the way up to the current 2.2 and I have to agree with Criskat ,a child could do it ,but yes it is daunting when you first sit down to do it ,and Iclarfied.com is brilliant ,I used that and the Yellowsn0w web site which is the latest hack for the 3g's ,there was an inital problem when ya reboot and it "seeing" the sim but that latest beta version of yellowsn0w fix's that ..... simple

Not sure it will work ,but I may be corrected on that
,but seriously buy the phone and jailbreak it ,its so simple,plus you'll get cyida when jailbroken ,which gives you so much more ! 0 -

Itsnot the fact that its simple, I have done it for friends before. I just don't like waiting for the Dev Team to patch the latest software, whereas I could get it as soon as its released otherwise. There is also that small chance that apple may release an update that may not be crackable immediately or for some time...

I think your bat sh1t crazy. Why on earth do you have to HAVE the latest update, the last update was a waste of time and only pumped out to kill the turbo sims in circulation, nothing that great came with it.
So you might have to wait 2 weeks top for the dev team to crack it, and two weeks would be pushing it going on past cracks that have came withing a few days.
Even if Apple did release an update that was hard to crack (do you know how much time and money they would have to set aside to do that?) what is the problem with having a phone that still does all the same things it did a week ago.................Just dont update............its that simple.
I can not think of one thing I would un-jailbreak my phone for, in update terms. There is not really too much more they can do to the phone......I wouldnt even update for COPY and PASTE or PUSH. So I have to wait 15 minutes for my email to check it self, not the end of the world.
But look if you want to keep it legit it is of course your choice, you spent good hard earned cash on your phone (funny how I call it your phone, unjailbroken it remains apples). I do take issue with your points for not jailbreaking it though.0 -

You could use your existing SIM and add a data package to it. I'd say a data add on between 200MB to 500MB / month is enough for the average user. You won't have to jailbreak to do that (assuming it's an O2 IE phone)
If thats true then option 2 of €480 becomes more attractive as it would mean a much cheaper monthly bill. Anyone know how much a data packahge costs ?
Also. I wouldn't be tied to a big new contract.
EDIT: Website shows only two data bundles. 200mb (€7.50) & 1GB(€15). 200mb would be a bit small and 1GB would bring me almost up to my existing contract price.
Hmmmm. Hard to know so. €480 (keep #, slightly cheaper bills, no long term contract) vs €350 (new #, slightly dearer bills, long term contract).
Thoughts ?
My wife is going to the states next month...anything she could get over there ... that woudn't involve a jailbreak ? And if I did get an iPhone from the states, what happens if it breaks ?
Cheers for the help btw
