Best way to get iPhone out of contract and onto T-mobile

[jmann]

I thought you couldn't unlock a 3G iPhone with the latest firmware?

It depends on what bootloader it has, that means if you can downgrade the baseband to unlock it.

i've updated the original post to reflect the new iphone 3g pricing

actually,
the best deal will be $65 + $175(ETF) =$240 + tax.
i've try it before, and it works!!!
can't do it often, but it does work.
just depends how you deal with the CSR

Yeah I bought mine on ebay for $281, but that does not reflect the prices that I just saw on ebay today. I broke the one I bought on ebay, took it back into the Apple store, paid $199 and got a brand new iPhone and didn't sign up for any AT&T nonsense! I told the guy that it's unlocked and I use T-Mobile. He just went in the back, got me a new one, kept the old one, charged me $199, no tax, end of story. I live in Virginia, a state that has 4.5% sales tax, so I don't know why they didn't charge tax, but I'm not gonna complain! I love my iPhone and I love having it on T-Mobile with unlimited minutes for $49.99 and unlimited data for $19.99 (but this will change to $39.99 eventually).

You broke a 3G iphone, or a 1G iphone?
