iPhone Software Unlocking Release Soon?
By Michael Santo
Executive Editor, RealTechNews
You may recall that the UniquePhones software unlocking solution has been delayed by a threat by AT&T. Meanwhile, iPhoneSIMFree has been pretty quiet. Yesterday, however, they released a FAQ which not only gives additional information about their unlocking solution, but also gives hope as to a release — soon.
1. Would all the same features still work?
Yes. Except for Visual Voice mail (which is an exclusive AT&T feature), all features currently available on locked phones will be available on unlocked phones. *
2. Is it resistant to updates?
While we have taken all possible measures to ensure that the phone will remain unlocked, we can only guarantee the current released versions of updates (up to and including 1.0.2). With any of these versions, even if the phone is fully restored, the phone will remain unlocked.
13. When can I get it?
We are hoping to release in the next 48-72 hours

We Say: Based on comment 13 above, and what happened to UniquePhones, expect them to receive a phone call or email from an AT&T lawyer soon.
