I have no reason to unlock, so far, but if I were to travel out of Canada, I would use ultrasn0w. I've been using the Dev Team's stuff since 1.1.4, I think (?). I just trust their releases now.

I have not tried neither one of the new updates. But right now if I were to unlock my iPhone, I would most likely go with Ultrasn0w as Geohot is still working on his RC2 release…. Plus Purplesn0w does not hactivate it like Ultrasn0w, so u need to have a legit activated iPhone with Purplesn0w. (Some ppl don't read that part lol)

After jailbreaking my 3GS and realizing how great having the JB is, I do now understand why the DT holding off would annoy a whole bunch of people. However, if it was for the betterment of long term jailbreaks I was all for holding off till 3.1.

Purplera1n here and will be followed bt purplesn0w if the need arises

Dev team struck a bit of a bad chord with me when they decided to hold on to their jailbreak if it wasn't for gehot and purplera1n all you 3gs owners would still be waiting for 3.1 os like they wanted us to

Don't forget that. Cheers everyone long live the jailbreaking and unlocking!!

Although I really don't need to put a different SIM chip in my phone at the moment, I'd personally go with Ultrasn0w just because of rep. I'm sure purplesn0w works great for those who use it, but as I have a 3G I'm going to have to go with Ultrasn0w.

Have wicked problems with ultrasn0w. When I added the repo, a prompt kept on popping up saying “bad url”. I tried uninstalling and trying again to be careful of entering the repo correctly, and it still happens. Surprisingly when it automatically restarts, the repo exists and I install ultrasn0w. But when I do this, everytime I look at pacakges in Cydia, it redirects the preview page to some SPAM website… :

Ultrasn0w. Why you ask? Because. That's why.
So stop being silly, and just get it done with Ultrasn0w.
