You must be new... 3G iPhones will still work on EDGE networks if a 3G tower is not available.
erm.... no it wont.
You're phone will revert to 2g and use EDGE, making it about as useful as a ....ah hum.... 1st gen iphone...

He's not saying that 3G will work. He's saying that data will work.
this is **** i cant wait for all off you to have nice apple BRICKS!
can no one appreciate the hard work people put into a product! and people wonder why networks are charging so much!
Steve? is that you?
I been doing a little more reading on this and I think basically the link is to the blog of the pwnagetool dev's so yeh I'm more excited now
the 2.0 iphone firmware which is on itunes now is diffrent from the yesterday "leaked" version.
leaked:
iPhone1,2_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw
size: 225 mb
itunes version:
iPhone1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw
size: 218.2 mb
so what did apple do?
1,2 is probably the firmware that is loaded on the 3G. Probably why 1st Gens are having so much trouble running it...
Tell me again, what is the point of jailbreaking 2.0? We now have official apps, its available in most countries and with some through multiple carriers, and T-Mobile in the states is even worse than AT&T. Its not like you can take your iPhone to verizon or Sprint.
To pick your own phone carrier, and not let Apple dictate it for you. To not get screwed into these ridiculous plans that are being tied to the iPhone. To be able to travel and insert any random SIM card and make calls.
If your iphone is stuck in itunes registration...
I found a thread in Apple Discussions that quotes the following...
"(lappygirl-forum user): I didn't really let it time out...I asked Ashely (Apple Support) if I should just let it go (trying to sync the iphone after 2.0 installation) and recheck in an hour and she said NO. Click back and forth between the iphone and Music in the iTunes list (left bar of the application) until it works. Mine took 10 minutes. After it finally accessed iTunes, it has to resynch. THEN it adds the apps. It is 11:13am EST and I STARTED downloading 2.0 shortly after 8:30 am EST. I have just disconnected the phone and it is fine. I had to change the time, because it put me in a different time zone, but that was it. "

This is so far the only suggested fix I've found so far. My iphone is still disabled.

Mostly true. You can Jailbreak without Unlocking, but you can't Unlock without Jailbreaking.
Criminals? I paid for this piece of hardware. Nobody should have the right to tell me what to do with it if I want to hack it to make it better. It's not like I'm asking for support.
Also, 'intellectual property' shouldn't exist, and jailbreaking isn't against the law.
Or if you're on T-mobile with your family and can't really go over to ATT
Besides, 10 bucks a month for unlimited text and 6 for T-Zones combined w/ the T-zones hack for unlimited data costs how much? 16 bucks! I'm sorry how much is that on ATT's? did I hear 40? And if you're on 3G you're paying 50 bucks a month for all that!
Ok yes I know T-Mobile's 3G is incompatible but for $34 less a month I'm willing to sacrifice that...
Jailbreaking vs. Unlocking
Maybe there's something I don't know, but I can't think of anyone that offers one without the other. Am I wrong?
Speaking of things I don't know, is the Pwnage tool for 2.0 available yet??

From the Dev Team blog:
UPDATE: So guys, the out of the box tests on retail hardware are great. Everything works as we anticipated. This is great news, seriously. No riddles or jokes or cryptic messages now, watch this space.
Hopefully pwnage comes out soon, I wanna try push with MobileMe.

They'll have to pry Customize app from my cold, dead hands...
I'm not going to be giving up Customize app anytime soon, for one...

not so fast...
I sold mine the other day and am feeling naked. Hunting, hunting 3g.
But still there will not be all these unlocked phones around in 3g as they will be on 2 year contracts unless the termination fees are paid. Then that would add to the cost of a 3g resale.
You should be alright for a little while longer. I got $340 for mine on Wed. Prices should be holding I'd think as no one can walk into a store and buy 6 unactivated 3g phones.
There goes the resale value of my current/old iPhone...
