Will we be able to jailbreak and unlock the american iphone 4g on 4.2.1 anytime soon?
this may be totally incorrect info, but cant you downgrade the iOS so that you can jailbreak and unlock the iphone 4?
so... you can downgrade your phone only if you have the SHSH on Saurik's server or on your computer (this means that, that iphone, was already jailbreaked in the past), but this doesn't solve the problem with the activation because the downgrade of the firmware doesn't downgrade the baseband of the phone = no iphone sim free.
I recommend to buy the iphone from europe or from italy that every italian iphone4 (and even UK (bought from an Apple Store) are Sim free.
