three quick questions:
I have an iPhone 3G that I bought at an ATT store with contract. No I want to travel to europe for 2 month and so I'm thinking about unlocking the iPhone to use it with a local carrier in Europe (I don't want to pay ATT's overpriced roaming).
Does it still happen that the iPhone IMEI gets changed to 0499 when unlocking? This happened to a friends 2G iPhone.
Or are there any other disadvantages in unlocking, will it cause problems with my activation?
I know that I have to jailbreak my iPhone in order to use yellowsnow. When I connect my iPhone to my Computer, iTunes stores a backup of the iPhone on it. Do the JB App's (Cydia, yellowsnow) also get backed up? Because I'm planing to restore my iPhone from a backup when I come back to get rid of the unlock and the JB.

Thank you so much for your help!
