OK, OK. This is an MDA site, but, well, the iPhone is not too shabby afterall.
Still, who wants to live in the Apple world all the time? Don't you want to hack your iPhone to work with any GSM carrier (i.e. unlock) and allow yourself the flexibility of working beyond the Apple iTunes Store world?
We do.
And we've found the simplest way of doing it. Just watch this guy's video:
We'll be posting play-by-play pictures in short order. For now, follow this guy's instructions. They work! Be forewarned, that we have had the "white screen of death" and had to restore the phone to get back to Square 1.

A little off-topic here. We'll get back to regularly scheduled programming with news of the new HTC WM6 device...
We bought an Insignia-branded high-definition HD LCD TV from Best Buy and couldn't locate the proper remote code for use with the big button Sony RM-EZ2 universal remote control. After trying the following:
We had read a few websites that gave out 4-digit codes and those who claimed that the Insignia TV was made by the above manufacturers. Well, we still don't know who makes them, but here's the code: 042. Thank goodness it wasn't 099. We still had to sit through and try each code starting from 001. The only problem with the TV is the lag time between remote entries.
Here are the instructions from Sony on how to program the little remote.
1. Turn on the component to be programmed.
2. On the remote control, press and hold the SET button.
3. While holding the SET button, press and release the POWER button
4. Release the SET button.
5. Press the appropriate component button for the component being set up.
6. Using the number pad, enter the component's manufacturer code.
NOTE: If more than one code number is listed for the manufacturer, repeat the procedure, entering one code at a time until you find one that works.
7. Press the ENT button.
8. Point the remote control at the component.
9. Press the POWER button to verify operation.
As for the TV. It's a great bargain and has an integrated tuner. It's a flat panel TV that lets you hook up your computer via the DB15 port VGA and stuff through its two HDMI ports (on the 32" model).
From the Best Buy website:
* Built-in HDTV tuner for free over-the-air reception of HDTV signals
* Crystal-clear 720p resolution, with support for all HDTV broadcast formats
* Comprehensive analog and digital connectivity (including HDMI and PC video) for compatibility with a wide variety of sources
* SRS TruSurround processing for a convincing surround-sound experience with no additional equipment
They make plasma and LCD models. We bought the 32" LCD model: Model: NS-LCD32 SKU: 8274379
