Yes, this was just the news I was waiting for. Pwnage (iPhoneDevTeam) have released their first software that can easily unlock 2.0 firmware and iPhone 3G. This is just awesome. Here is how to do unlock your iPhone 3G (users who have upgraded their 1st Gen iPhones to 2.0 firmware can unlock it as well)

Please download the software from Here. Unzip it, Install and follow the instructions and you are good to go

iPhoneDevTeam - Update 1: Just to clear up some confusion over what this actually does: yes, it jailbreaks and unlocks older iPhones, and jailbreaks iPhone 3Gs and iPod Touches. We only support the 2.0 firmwares.

Update 2: It looks like there aren’t enough TCP ports on that server, so _BigBoss_ has generously offered to mirror it.

Update 3: If you get Error 1600 from iTunes (or if you see in your log a failure to prepare x12220000_4_Recovery.ipsw), try: mkdir “~/Library/iTunes/Device Support” ;  if that directory already exists, remove any files in it.  Then re-run PwnageTool.

In summary Pwnage software supports:
iPhone (1st Gen) with 2.0 - Activated, Unlocked & Jailbroken, (with support for third party applications).
iPod Touch with 2.0 - Activated & Jailbroken, (with support for third party applications).
iPhone (3G) with 2.0 - Activated, Jailbroken (with support for third party applications).

Few of the initial feedback from users who used this software (from iPhoneDevTeam’s blog)

• Thank you. I downloaded it and used it and it worked flawlessly. I couldn’t be happier. Also, thank you for managing to surprise just about everyone in the world with this one - from embarassed
• it’s working i upgraded my 1.1.4 to 2.0, but Wi-Fi has some problems ny application unable to connect to internet, can any one help in this - from kanna
• Make sure you get the correct version, not the early released one that came back before Apple officially released it. Then you have to remember to remove the .zip at the end and keep it as a .ipsw - The icon will change to a little package box. - from Lionman

If you are not able to download the zip file from the above links, please click here, or here.

Update 1:
Pwnage 2.0 has be updated and re-released as 2.0.1

N.B: if PwnageTool 2.0 pwned your phone correctly the first time, you do not need to pwn again with 2.0.1.

The file can be found on our server here at _BigBoss_’s repository, or also at our friends at Hackint0sh.

If you choose to download it from other mirrors, you may want to verify that the SHA1 of the file is 10b6c7dc22286e7b70c3d5a92cda7d117426fda9 you can do this with the following command in OS X’s Terminal.app:-

$ openssl sha1 PwnageTool_2.0.1.zip

SHA1(PwnageTool_2.0.1.zip)= 10b6c7dc22286e7b70c3d5a92cda7d117426fda9

iPhoneAtlas has reported that unlocked iPhone 3G is being sold in Hong Kong and Italy. This is going to be music to iPhone freaks living in countries other than US. And I have my sources in Bangalore saying that unlocked iPhone 3G is going to be sold in grey market very soon in Indian Metros as well. As early as late July. Isnt this great news. I will keep you guys informed on my blog. Anyways here is what IPhoneAtlas has to say:

We have received multiple reports indicating that the iPhone 3G is being sold as an unlocked device by 3 Hutchnison Telecommunications in Hong Kong and TIM in Italy. This means that users can insert any carrier’s SIM card into the device and access the attached network. However, both carriers are still requiring users to sign a two-year contract before they purchase the unlocked iPhones.
