The wait for a sexy new smartphone can be interminable. Thankfully we've got some hot new info and a cool video to tide you over while you wait for your 3GS to come in the mail. A Brazilian tech site managed to get ahold of an early 3GS and unlock it. They've posted the video here. Even if you can't understand what the narrator is saying, it's a cool glimpse at the new iPhone and its compass app.

We've also got some new information about the 3GS straight from MacRumors.com. First off, we can now confirm the resolution that the 3GS takes photos in; 2048x1536. We also have our first feedback on the new olephobic screen, which seems to do a great job reducing the annoyance of fingerprints on your phone screen.

iPhone 2.2.1 Unlocked!

Topic:

iPhone 2.2.1 Unlocked! Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review

I've got some good news for those of you who love Apple, but hate AT&T. The Apple iPhone 3G version 2.2.1 has been unlocked by iPhone Unlocking Solutions. This is big news for all of the gadget geeks out there, because version 2.2.1 has long been considered impossible to unlock.

Of course, calling something impossible is just another way of making it irresistible to tech geeks. From the very day the iPhone was released, users have spent hundreds of hours of effort figuring out how to unlock it. For a very long time the only way was to open up the phone itself and fiddle around inside. This was a very risky procedure that was more likely to ruin your phone than unlock it if you didn't know exactly what you were doing.
