I don’t expect Apple to do anything. I think they want to make the line dividing the Touch from the iPhone really pronouced, so they don’t loose sales on the iPhone. I think there will not be such a rush to hack the Touch, as it is less desirable than the iPhone. We will have to wait a bit longer.

I have little doubt it will get hacked, but I remain unconvinced that Apple will do anything official to make the changes that people want.

I’m just hoping that some one will hack the Touch and put all the iPhone apps on it. Then I will definatelly consider a new purchase.

In a way it is hard to see them doing that with the Touch in that why didn’t they do it straight away and do they only want the one differential between the Touch and the iPhone to actually be the phone element?

Following this thread with interest Chris – now know I have the option of O2 in the uk for an iPhone but really wanting an iPDA and being very happy with my current phone I wonder if waiting for a revision of the iPod touch with any possible price drops is more sensible. I have wi-fi access for 90% of my day and only use a mobile phone for occasional calls. In fact, often find myself trying to use up the free minutes each month. However, without some the glaring issues with the iPod touch being sorted out (ie lack of ability to update iCal on the device, lack of to do list etc) I may well end up with the phone.

Looks like a really good set of instructions – but I want to try and make them even more user friendly if possible.

As far as I know on the GSM network T-Mobile and AT&T are the only ones, and they usually last for three months after which if you haven’t used the credits up tough!!

I have a feeling Sprint do a pre paid SIM but not on the GSM network and so not an option.

The theory is though that a GSM SIM card should pick up other networks when it roams, but whether that will work we will haveto wait and see.

The reason for a pre paid SIM card is really a double check that the iPhone has been unlocked. The fact is that once the software has completed it should tell you and by putting the SIM card in it should accept it. The fact the SIM card can’t actually pick up a signal is pretty irrelevant as it is the acceptance of the card that will confirm the unlock.

I too have been reading up a lot on iPhone unlocking techniques. I’ll have to check out these pre-paid SIM cards. Our cellular carrier is currently US Cellular, and they do not use GSM technology. (Already getting down the lingo!) Would be interesting to see how long a pre-paid would last!

Does anyone know what brand has pre-paid SIM cards? Do they work?
