GEO, the next TOM?

I don't really get all the hype surrounding the iphone. When new gadgets come out, I use to run to the stores to try and score them but lately, not so much! I figured I didn't have AT&T nor the need to spend $600 on a cell phone that could run my life for me (it intimidates me, not gunna lie!) so I figured, I'd pass! Well, I no longer have to pass up this trendy, all in one gadget! GEO, a 17 yr old boy from NJ, hacked the iphone!! He figured out how to unlock the phone, so now it is available on TMobile as well. This kid spent a long time trying to figure out how to unlock the phone, so he could use it but not switch to AT&T. I don't know all of the details of how long it took Geo or whatever, all I know is he did it & posted the directions online, on his blog! http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com/ Below, all of these dirnks were what he used to keep him awake to accomplish this task! He actually took the phone apart, rewired stuff, did some sodding, put pieces back together and reprogramed the phone, I'm guessing he really wanted to get this phone to work on TMobile!


Geo has two unlocked iphones, the first unlocked iphone, he is keeping for himself, but the second phone, he actually listed on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230164884672but he seemed to be having some sort of problems, so if you are really interested in buying the phone, contact him through his blog! He says he is going to buy a car with the money he makes from selling the 2nd iphone, which he autographed for you! Personally, if I was even serious about considering to buy that phone, I definitely wouldn't want it with some little 17yr old kid's autograph on it, GEOHOT, sorry... hate to burst your bubble little boy, but you just are not cool enough to sign my cell phone!

Now, back to my life..........
