iPhone Newbie here ...

I am referring to iPhone 3G !

People always using wrong description about unlock or jailbreak ...

Can someone explain more ..

Does it means that buying unlock or locked iphone does not mean much different ?

Locked - Tied to the telco carrier
Unlocked - Can use any telco carrier
Jailbreak - Can install FREE 3rd party application thru installer or cydia ..

So, even we buy a locked version of iphone, after we jailbreak using pwnage / quickpwn /winpwn /etc we still able to any telco carrier + install 3rd party application

Why we need to buy unlocked iphone ? ( since we can use jailbreak to the locked phone using any telco carrier )

Pwnage tools cannot unlock the 3G baseband yet - ( what does it means ? Cannot use other telco 3G ? )

Conclusion ? Locked or unlock version , you still need to run the pwnage tools to jailbreak your iphone to intsall 3rd party application for FREE ..

Sugen, what I wan to know is what lis the different on buying a locked or unlocked iphone 3G . Since a locked phone we still need to run the Pwnage Tools software enable us to any telco carriers + Installer or Cydia.

If we got unlocked iPhone 3G , we need to run Pwnage Tools method.

What is the different ???
