The iPhone Dev Team has released, on their blog, that they have successfully ported their Yellowsnow carrier unlock to work with the upcoming Apple release of iPhone OS 3.0. The Yellowsnow unlock was developed for the 3G iPhone when OS 2.0 was released. Many users were hoping for this because if you had been using an iPhone 3G on a carrier, other then AT&T, you would not be able to take advantage of the new functionality in the much anticipated 3.0 update, without losing their call function. No worries now apparently; the Dev Team says they will showcase their official/unofficial Yellowsnow Ultrasnow unlock today via a live feed. A member of the Dev Team, MuscleNerd, will twitter the live feed link later this afternoon. If you want to see this first hand make sure you follow @MuscleNerd on Twitter.

I have been locked to AT&T since the release of the OG iPhone and have had no need to use the Yellowsnow unlock, but apparently many have. I have never seenulc042608dr the reason for unlocking the iPhone when AT&T forces your to sign a 2 year contract. Unlocking the iPhone only makes sense if you purchase your iPhone from the plethora sold on Ebay and Craigslist, which apparently a great number of you do.

The Dev Team has also eluded that they are ready to work on an unlock solution for the soon to be released iPhone 3GS. They don’t want you to ask them about it. If they told you, they would have to kill you.

P.S. For the new iPhone 3GS, please don’t expect periodic updates about any progress we have or don’t have. Nothing gives Apple the upper hand like someone tweeting or blogging partial hack results. That’s not how cat & mouse is played :) That’s how the cat gets fed.

UPDATE:  The Dev team have changed the name of the unlock to Ultrasnow.  Pointing out that the new soft unlock with work with all basebands as long as you are on FW 3.0
