Yesterday, news hit that a 17-year-old kid from New Jersey unlocked the iPhone. And Engadget reported a software unlock worked as well. It was bound to happen at some point. Mix determination, youthful exuberance and a scientist's know-how, and you too can wreck the day of a major telecommunciations giant. While I would have no inclination to follow through on the kid's instructions--and neither do most iPhone users, I guess--I admire the hell out of him. Anything to ruin the way cell phones are sold in the country gains a star in my book. (Belgium has the right idea--choose whatever phone you want, then choose a plan. Phone unlocking there is illegal, I believe.) Freedom is such a divine thing.
