Gotta say this is getting temping. Just to have factory unlock. I wonder if this will drive down the resale of the factory unlocks. I still also worried that Apple might plug this and restore the locks. I'm stiill AT&T I just wonder if it's worth it.

I don't know why this is so tempting for us ATT users, but it is!!
 
I'm on ATT and bought the unlock. I travel a lot internationally. I'm gonna pick up a prepaid tmoble SIM to test it out later today.

I dont know, the price is up there and to me its not really worth it if Im going to use my AT&T iphone in the US 99% of the time.
If it dropped down to around $50 or so I could see it but not right now. I still got my 01.59.00 bb anyway:)
 
The big what if is, since the team hasn't unlocked anything since 4.0 - 4.0.2 (same baseband), what happens when 5.0 comes out with new baseband that won't "talk" to 4.0s baseband?

I dont think it would be a problem keeping older basebands.
People maintain their baseband from 3.1.2 towards 4.2.1 and the baseband still "talks".
We might see bugs like we do now with signal display and other minor issues but I doubt it will completelly stop working as a phone if you maintain your BB and updated firmware.
But again, you never know with Apple. Gotta see how it goes.
