The iPhone Dev Team has some pretty new for us. They have achieved a hack to the iPhone 3G baseband while leaving everything else alone. This is a software-only solution, as iPhone Dev Team explains it in their own words:

We have accomplished this by being able to execute our own code on the baseband that allows us to circumvent security checks and flash the baseband with older, disallowed firmware. Please note this has been accomplished using software only, the iPhone 3G has not been disassembled or hardware modified in any way. 

The Team’s earlier PwnageTool 2.0 only provided a jailbreak for the iPhone 2.0 software but no unlock for the iPhone 3G. In short,users are stillnot free from those roaming charges from the iPhone exclusive carriers. The great thing about this hack is that it’s really a simple process, say the Team, and it’s comig realy soon.
