would it be possible to use this hack and then later activate it and use it as a normal phone, when those kind of services come to europe ?

Yep, you need to activate the phone with ATT… out of the box it’s just a useless piece of junk..

Nick you idiot. I’m talking about BEFORE you ever hacked it, just the actual product you purchased. Apparently the hack “activates” the ipod and WiFi portion of the iphone, meaning that those portions are unactivated at first purchase.

@blobster
No, look.
“The iPhone does not have phone capability, but the iPod and WiFi work.”

ONLY the iPod and WiFi work.

Wait a minute. You have to activate it to use the ipod part of the phone? That’s stupid. Apple “iwhatever” devices are overhyped….there good but overpriced compared to competitors

I should have specified, that I meant activate it via phone, most people aren’t smart enough to hook up a phone to a pc, hell I get service calls for setting up printers.

Yeah but its a matter of time .. since more and more cell phones are starting to be more and more like a computer and less like a cell phone.. so the hackers will have a field day using traditinal hacks on this Iphone.

Before you even think about hacking the iPhone, you have to be able to activate the damn thing, hehe. I watched a thing on the news saying that hundred of customers weren’t eable to activate because of server overloads.
