I haven't seen any baseband higher than 1.59 on the iP4, maybe they installed 4.2 beta? that the only thing i can think of.
If you update an iPhone 4 to 4.1 firmware, it will also the baseband to 2.10. Thus, probably, OP did that or he/she was mistaken about having 1.59.

The thing is I didn't upgrade the os, when I brought it, it came out of the box already in 4.1 firmware and I checked the bb it was 1.59... Until recently the bb jus change to 2.10..does it have anything to do with syncing it with iTunes?

Impossible unless it's a refurb that someone updated to 4.1 without a baseband update, and then you updated through iTunes.
4.1 comes with 2.10 and unless you use a tool like pwnage tool or FirmwareUmbrella to prevent it from updating, you won't have 1.59 on iOS4.1.

I purchased my iP4 2 weeks ago & it has Modem FW 2.10.04.
I haven't updated or even made a purchase on iTunes. I didn't look at the FW when I purchased it, just the version which of course is 4.1...

You cant JB or unlock at the moment.
Shortly you will be able to JB it but not unlock it yet.

Ha.. I don't need to unlock (on AT&T), but I definitely want to keep the option open. It keeps the resale value way up at the very least. So I am practically always a few iOS versions behind, which of course isn't an option with a new phone.
Wow, you've got to watch out for those baseband sneak-updates.
Oh yeah, what about the part of your story where the phone either didn't have 1.59 or you restored to 4.1, upgrading it?
Because basebands don't just magically update.
