I am getting a iphone 3g that is currently on the newest version (2.2.1) and the 2.30 modem firmware. I eventually am getting a turbo sim card (gevey: I think thats what its called)... I am going to unlock it with quickpwn. I can't hurt anything by jailbreaking it can I since its already the newest modem firmware can i?
These are the two ways you can make a judge by youself. Hope it can give u some help.
