Old news for those in the know and it IS NOT UNLOCKED yet.

Only jailbroken.

The Touch w/ 2.0 can be jailbroken.

iPhone 1st gen with 2.0 software can be unlocked and jailbroken

Yes I was "in the know" about that actually but the impression I got from the site is that it unlocked the 3G.

From the comments on the site:

Update 1: Just to clear up some confusion over what this actually does: yes, it jailbreaks and unlocks older iPhones, and jailbreaks iPhone 3Gs and iPod Touches. We only support the 2.0 firmwares.

I guess it doesn't directly mention unlocking 3Gs. Oh well.

its not like us canadian have a choice of gsm carriers anyways. and odds are if you have an iPhone 3G, you're with rogers anyways for another 3 years so it doesn't really matter. Who knows, maybe by 2011 we will have a new national gsm provider (though pricing will be the same anyways)

If you do a lot of traveling it may be useful. Just pop in another sim card. Give it a month more and I could see it being unlocked. It's only been a week and its already Jail broken.

That will be perfect timing as my 3 years Rogers contract will end by then...LOL

See below. Why do people assume unlocking just means I want to use it only in Canada?

Yup. I got relatives in the US and Caribbean. I hate borrowing other people's phones.
