You can though pawn (not unlock) your 3G iphone in order to use its apps, surf the internet (wifi), itunes . . . but it will show you "no service" in the upper left of the screen (while using non legit sim cards like in Lebanon). So our hope is for the pwning people is to release an update version of their software that UNLOCKS the 3G iphone. Below are some links you might want to keep tracking:

Thanks Boris. here in canada, they are selling it for almost $69. but does it still work after you update the phone (software-wise that is)?

(I used to be way informed when I had my 2G, but for my 3G, I don't really need to lock the phone)

i think up to 2.0.2 yea, duno for later stages the chip might not unlock after upgrading more than 2.0.2, this is why we are awaiting for the software unlock.

The most special feature of the Iphone is the ability to use internet but in lebanon : NO wifi internet in open Areas , gheir in specific places ( some restaurents or at home lol )
NO 3G network in Lebanon , ( alpha and mtc still on 2G )
NO GPS in lebanon

i dont see a reason to buy an iphone i prefer NOKIA
