    The o2 website says it will be, later this yaer. They published the
    tariffs a few weeks ago and then took them off the site shortly after.

    I think most of the software issues will be fixed soon so that doesn't
    bother me.
    The latest news I found re. the release of a payg version is "in time
    for Christmas". But as you said, it will depend on stock and contract
    will get priority.
    Hopefully all the hullaballoo will have died down by then.

    Unlikely. With the previous gen iPhone, the Apple fanboys went mental.
    Now the general public is going mental and demand is very high. Also
    they've restructed the pricing (you pay more over the total contract)
    so it APPEARS cheaper. As a result people have been like .... 'OMG the
    iphone is so cheap!!!'.

    Plus, with "unlimited" data on all iPhone tarrifs they are quite
    competitive.

    Yup. I paid £150 for my Nokia n95 on T-Mobile's Flext 35 (£35/mo) +
    £7.50 for web'n'walk (which firewalled IM apps) whereas My iPhone 3G
    cost me £99 and is on o2 at £35/mo with unlimited (and unfirewalled!)
    t'interent access.

    No. It only jailbreaks iPhone 3G. It does not unlock it.

    How come a colleague at work is running his US iPhone on v2 firmware
    with an Orange SIM inserted in it, then?

    I suppose all of the other features phones have do help to distract
    from the fact that nobody ever calls you.

    the only way to unlock a 3g iphone at this time is with a spoof sim.
    there is no software unlock yet.

    So it's not a software app which has been written then? The only way
    to unlock an old style iPhone, back in the day, was to jailbreak it
    via something like jailbreakme.com and then write or download an app
    which would unlock the phone.

    He is a Mac & PC systems developer and engineer and he's not using a
    dodgy SIM as I've seen it myself.
