@godfatherchrist
U still confuse with the term unlock n jailbreak. I suggest u to go http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/830708 and read Terminology: Meaning of Unlock, Jailbreak and Activate to get things straight.

P/S - Since that your set is an Officially Unlocked Set, it will not be locked again if you upgrade or restore the phone.

YES, you have to. You will loose your previous JB apps as well.

oh .. ya thanks.
so after unlocked, can i still use other telco if after unlock i didnt do restore ?
coz i really lazy to JB it again n reinstall all my apps.

sorry for the question ..

of coz le u can use with another telco.. u already unlock it rite?

yea i've unlock it. i mean do i have to restore the phone in order to use with other telco ?

try insert another sim card and try making calls or sms... if its working.. means u dont have to do restoration....
just slide the sim card in n make a call....

as my past based experience... i dont need to restore it...
but just give a try 1st kay?

Yes, tht's right. You should follow what the sms asked u to do. I lost the optus unlocked sms coz I restore my iphone more than 10 times already.

oh... okok. thanks~ i will try it~

The FW before 2.1 is not stable at all, apps crash most of the time. And also bcoz I was trying to tweak some stuffs in d iphone sometimes. Well, learnt from mistakes. hehe.

Any discussion, do it in iphone club, this is only for obtaining an Iphone. TS, feel free to reopen when u need to add anything new. Anyone else who wants to add anything new also can PM me.

despite this thread being shut down by moderator (for clarity purposes), i will still update this thread from time to time.

however, i still reckon that this thread is a good source of information nevertheless. hence feel free to navigate those in need to this thread

lol at the uninformed... or it could be a great marketing technique for HK hehe
