2 simples questions

[jrui]

I'm from Portugal and in two days I will go to EUA and purchase a iphone or iThouch...

If I buy the Iphone in New York apple store, it will come with the latest firmware and software? Is this downgradeble?

If it is not downgradeble, what can I do with an iphone in Portugal without jailbreake, Can I use it like an ithouch after itunes registration? (without SIMCard) and wait for a proper jailbreak SIMlock?

I ask this because a regular phone is pretty useless without the SimCard.


PS: There is any estimated date for the jailbreaking of brand new iphones?

Many thanks

there is a 99% chance that any iPhone purchased from now on will come stock with 1.1.2 and a 4.6 bootloader. if you are questioning whether or not it is possible to unlock it to use it in your country, it is but only by a hardware unlock at this time.
