So, the someone finally hacked the iPhone so that you can use the device on another GSM network. 17-year-old hacker George Hotz of Glen Rock, N.J., completed the hack this week.This was bound to happen, and it is exciting from a hackers point of view.
But for the rest of us who thought about bringing the iPhone TMobile, read this comment:
"The hack, which Hotz posted Thursday to his blog, is complicated and requires skill with both soldering and software. It takes him about two hours to perform."
Well, the software part is not too tough if you are comfortable running commands through a terminal/shell. But Soldering?? No thanks, I have seen the inside of an iPod, tiny parts with lots of room for error. Switching out a battery is a challenge, so I simply can't imagine taking a soldering gun to my $600 baby. AT&T it is!
