so i have a brand new 3gs (out of warranty) and its on 4.1 (05.14.02). whats the easiest way to get 4.2 and have it unlocked?

should i just upgrade to 4.2 and use redsnow to unlock it?

or looking at the dev blog i was reading up on this

Update #3: For those Mac users with an old-bootrom 3GS who really know what they’re doing, here’s a minimal 3GS 4.2.1 bundle that will get you to 4.2.1 without updating your baseband. Be sure to uncheck “Activate the iPhone” using Expert mode. To actually jailbreak after you’ve restored with the help of that bundle, please use redsn0w. If you don’t know how to drop a bundle into PwnageTool.app, please hold off on 4.2.1 until it’s untethered for everyone (or wait for a nice tutorial from somewhere like http://iclarified.com)

but i dont get it...!? do i restore it using the link provided in update 3 and then unlock it using redsnow or pwnedtool?

thanks
