Free the iPhone from AT&T

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-it-is-the-fourth-of-july dept.

Acererak was one of several readers who noted that DVD Jon has released information on unbricking an iPhone. You sacrifice all cel phone functionality of course, but you have an iPDA that will work on your WiFi. Currently the hack is windows only but it doesn't look very complicated.

  1. Why is DVD Jon focused on Apple? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    In order to justify his name he should do Blue Ray and HD DVD stuff. Does he have anything against Apple Computer and/or Steve Jobs?

    You sacrifice all cell phone functionality of course


    I don't see at all how this would be "of course". Why can't you simply install a different SIM card? I can see how you would "of course" lose the AT&T-specific subscription services but not "all cell phone functionality".

    That just makes no sense whatsoever (except in the USA perhaps?)
