iPhone 1.1.2 OTB unlock expected soon

Fans of iphone who have bought an Out of The Box (OTB) piece of iPhone iwith firmware version 1.1.2 have a reason to be happy - a software unlock of this version is expected to be out soon now.
Okay, here’s some background; Hackint0sh - the group that has been releasing most of past iPhone unlocks - has made it clear that since the version 1.1.2 of iPhone does not accept older secpacks, it can only be unlocked when the next version of the firmware (1.1.3) will be out. And just a few hours back a popular website GearLive posted apparent pics of firmware 1.1.3 on its site. For those who are curious, 1.1.3 supports the ability to sent multiple sms messages and has an extended Google Maps application.
Generally in case of Apple products such “leaks” are precursors to actual product release and one should expect 1.1.3 to be out sooner rather than later and hopefully the great guys at Hackint0sh should show their magic again.
If you are stuck with an 112 OTB and can’t wait till then you can try the hardware unlock which involves using “TurboSIM” or other such sim-simulators and cutting up your simcard to make the iphone think that the AT&T card is still in.

Nokia N70:Tips ‘n tricks

This page is for anyone thinking of migrating to the Nokia N70 with a view to using it as their main smartphone and entertainment device.

The N70 has lots to recommend it, from the very latest Symbian OS and Series 60 versions, to a fast processor and lots and lots of RAM, from ultra-high-resolution main camera to stereo music output.
1. Open up your device

By default, the N70 and other modern Series 60 smartphones come ‘locked down’ in terms of the applications they’ll accept, installing only those that have large companies behind them, able to afford the expensive ’signing’ process. But there are hundreds of other great applications, many of them free, that are ‘unsigned’. Don’t worry about this just go to ‘Tools | Manager | Options | Settings’ and turn ‘Software installation’ “On”. You can now install any compatible program without being blocked by spurious security warnings!
