The iPhone Dev-Team is ending the year with a bang! The team has unlocked the iPhone 3G and is now prepping it up for a user-friendly release on New Year’s Eve.

Here are a few notes from the team you should know about if you’re planning to unlock your iPhone 3G:

• This unlock method is available to iPhone 3Gs that have 2.11.07 baseband or earlier, we did warn you.
• You can tell what version baseband you have by going to Settings->General->About->Modem Firmware
• The unlock requires a jailbroken 3G iPhone. ItÂ’ll be installable via Cydia and so it doesnÂ’t matter if you have a Mac or PC.
• Please refrain from updating your baseband, regardless of what version youÂ’re at. WeÂ’ll have complete directions on New YearÂ’s Eve.
• WeÂ’ll stream a live demo of the unlock before Christmas.

Got all that? Now if you want a live demo of the unlock, visit the source link below for details. Of course, we’ll let you know when the software is released, so check back for updates.

• PwnageTool, QuickPwn updated for iPhone firmware 2.2
• iPhone FW 2.2 goes live; PwnageTool, QuickPwn incoming
