Rant 

In iPhone 3G unlocker released on schedule

Although his rant goes possibly a little far as yes I can see the fun in a "challenge" but why anyone buys a phone that doesn't do what they want it to do in the first place and needs to hack it is beyond me. Don't like it? DON'T BUY ONE. There, problem solved.

Isn't it more than slightly sad to say that you are quite happy to cough up the £340 for PAYG or agreeing to the contract for 18 months only to then go through the hassle of hacking it and signing up for yet another contract with another operator?? Its a phone, a very nice one and I love mine but its not THAT good!!

Also perhaps the hackers could put their skills and intelligence to some better use?? If I had the kind of skills these guys have I'd be coining it in at one of the major firms not spending my nights doing it for free!!!
