X-Gold 608 Unlock

This is only possible for the 2G iPhone

Currently, the 3G (software) unlock is the biggest missing piece of the iPhone community. It is more difficult than the previous unlocks due to the fact that the baseband bootloader is sig checked. Dev team could show they are capable to flash a different baseband firmware (1.43.00 instead of 1.45.00). See also discussion.
