Just got an iPhone 4 - out of the US, should I open it?

[kiranb28]

Sorry for the somewhat misleading title - the iPhone 4 itself is from the US, but i am not.


My uncle just carried an extra iPhone 4 with him and i'm wondering if I should open it yet? Seeing how i'm not in the US, I need to know a couple of things:

1. Is there a fool-proof to jailbreak/unlock the device so I can use it with my local carrier here?

2. Making a micro-sim out of my jumbo sim won't be a problem - i've seen several videos and I can cut it down to size.

3. If a carrier unlock is NOT available as of yet, can I use the iPhone 4 as an iPod (without the call features) or do I have to activate it on the carrier to actually be able to install games/apps/music on the device?


I've checked a lot of Youtube videos and other sites but wound up getting confused. Would appreciate if anyone could share their experiences so I can make a good decision.

Thanks
Kiran

Hi.Enjoy your device ;)

1.There isn't a jailbreak/unlock for the iPhone 4,but the DevTeam is working on it.
3.Yes.You need an ATT sim card in order to activate in and use it as an iPod.

Hi

I have the same problem. In my area there is no AT&T sim or no phonebook sim. And that's why I can't active the iPhone 4. It stuck in the emergency call screen.

Please experts give me some suggestions.

Thanks
