It’s official. If you have an iPhone 3G on baseband 06.15.00 and you are unlocked , you better get comfortable. MuscleNerd confirmed in a recent tweet that since the iPhone 3G will not be receiving the 4.3 firmware upgrade, your iPhone 3G will remain unlocked indefinitely.
Now let’s not all panic, this only affects iPhone 3G users on the above mentioned baseband. If you are unsure of your baseband version, you can go to settings -> general -> about -> modem firmware. For most of us this isn’t a huge deal, but to iPhone 3G users who unlocked using the 06.15 UltraSnow unlock, and have been experiencing GPS issues, this is devastating…
For 3GS users experiencing problems, The Dev Team is definitely aware of the GPS issue, and currently working on a way to downgrade your baseband with iOS version 4.3.
Do you have your 3G or 3GS unlocked and little or no GPS functionality? What are your thoughts on your iPhone being stuck unlocked forever? Sound off in the comments section below!

Seeing how the holiday season is upon us it should come as no surprise that just about every highly sought after product across the board will be sold out. Luckily, for those of us who can wait until after the holidays there is a whole slew of post-holiday sales to get down on. Dell seems to be kicking these sales off early announcing today that they will be dropping the price tag of their 5-inch Android powered Dell Streak tablet to $399. Best of all, this is the price tag for the unlocked device making for a highly sought after price point.
If you’re not familiar with the Dell Streak it is an Android powered 5-inch smartphone/tablet hybrid that features a 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 5 megapixel camera with dual LED flash and a front facing camera for video conferencing.
Unfortunately, the cheaper Dell Streak won’t be shipping until January meaning those hoping for it this holiday season may be a bit disappointed.
Do you have a Dell Streak? If so, how do you like it?

A couple weeks ago we reported that the Dev Team was working on a baseband downgrade method that would allow for an easier iPhone unlock. This baseband downgrade method was supposed to downgrade any iPhone baseband (including 06.15.00) to a baseband version that can easily be unlocked with UltraSn0w.
Today, someone asked MuscleNerd on Twitter when this baseband downgrade would be out, and while the answer isn’t exactly what most of you would expect, MuscleNerd gave us an indication about the Dev Team’s priorities… Read More
