iPhone 3G - just help?

[sharpk]

OKay, my birthday is exactly in one month, and I have been having my eye on thing, I don't why but its the iPhone 3G. The thing is that I am with T-Mobile. Now I heard stuff about the iPhone being jailbroken or w/e its called and it works with T-Mobile, but I haven't gone into detail, and obviously who doesn't want 3G service. Can the iPhone 3G work with a T-Mobile service? And will it have that service where you can access the Internet through the satellite or w/e.

If you want the 3G you are forced into a contract with AT&T. The only way you can get it without the contract is buying it outright and apparently that costs alot of money. I also heard that If you get the contract and cancel before the first month they also take your phone back. You might wanna check with iphone-hacks for more info.

I think there is a way to hardware unlock the iPhone 3G, but for right now there is no software unlock. I just sold my 1st generation 8gig yesterday so I could replace it with the 16gig 3G. Whenever I took my SIM card to the AT&T store yesterday, they said that I couldn't use my PYP iPhone plan on the 3G, it has to be a contract, and if I wanted to pay for the phone, I would have to pay upwards of 700 bucks. Fuck that. Stick to a 1st gen, 3G is nothing special.

there is no way of buying the 3g without a contract at all. I payed full price for mine and imstill in a contract. Tehy wont sell the Iphone without a contract at all. Unless u get it on ebay in which u will pay the 700 and up price. tmobile doent have 3g yet i think but it might be out now or should be available vary soon.

but yea no unlocked bands on the iphone 3g yet.

It won't work yet. The 3G hasn't been unlocked, so you're stuck with AT&T. What you can do is buy a 1st Generation iPhone which CAN be unclocked and use that with T-Mobile

Fuck getting a contract, I'd rather stick to paying 40 bucks a month for what people on contracts are paying 70-80 bucks a month for.

like all phones that cannot be unlocked, you always have the possibility of using a sim adapter. they run about $30 on ebay, but it will work.
but always read reviews of the phone before you buy it.
the iphone 3g is the most over hyped under feature phone on the market.
