This is the post that will matter to those still locked on a 1.1.2 iPhone. As I told you before, iPhoneTheSolution sent me a StealthSIM to review. And as I mentioned, after I post about the review I was going to give away the StealthSIM in a contest. That’s right baby, a free StealthSIM, worth…

As the iPhone finds its way into the hands of more and more Canadians, and they are exposed to the awesomeness of the Jesus-phone, more people will start heading south to get their hands on one. That was all fine and dandy say, 3-4 months ago, but with the new 1.1.2 unlock that has yet…
