Unlock iPhone 3G v2.2 with TheMott.com Custom Firmware in Just 3 min, Do it yourself now! Tutorial Where can I download iPhone programs?

I want the iphone 3g but i dont have att..i was thinking about buying an unlocked one off of ebay
Does ATT still have to activate if i have a different carrier?

Pros: You can use it with any other carrier and basically use it wherever you want because you will have the correct carrier SIM card.

Cons: You will not be able to use all the features. Even if you can get the settings set up, by Apple or your carrier, you'll be able to use a few of the features, but there are some features that will work only with AT&T / Cingular

    Pros:
    -Works on any GSM network

    Cons:
    -Isnt safe off ebay
    -Alot more expensive then just ending a contract and signing up for a new one
    -Cheaper to be on AT&T
    -YouTube doesnt work with some Unlocking methods if it isnt Unlocked though Apple
    -From what i know GPS doesnt work with some plans outside of AT&T

    Pros- There are an unlimited amount of carriers you may use the phone with, you will not have to pay the $30 data plan

    Cons- You will not get the full functionality of the phone, if your carrier such as T-mobile doesn't have 3G you will not get the full phone name iPhone 3G!!! not iPhone EDGE network. If you are coming from a non sim card carrier you will have to pay a contract ending fee of $175
