As announced yesterday, Dev Team member MuscleNerd did a demo of UltraSn0w, the new software unlock for the iPhone 3G (skip to 2.20 min on the video after the break). Unlike its predecessor YellowSn0w, UltraSn0w will unlock your iPhone 3G no matter what firmware, bootloader or baseband you have, as long as you have the new 3.0 firmware installed.
The actual program that UltraSn0w injects into the baseband to accomplish the unlock is the exact same one the Dev Team developed for YellowSn0w. What changed is that the Dev Team found a new “hole” to inject the unlocking payload.
A couple of videos have been posted of the new iPhone 3G S. Not much longer to wait till Friday but if you really need to see how the phone performs with the increased RAM and Processor power or the finger print proof finish on the screen check out the two videos after the break.

The Carphone Warehouse is offering cut price upgrades to the new iPhone 3G S by letting you trade in your old model.
The shop will let you trade in an iPhone 2G for £100, and if you’ve got a newer iPhone 3G the 8GB version will earn you £170 the larger 16GB version will get you £180.
Users would still need to pay up to 18 months of their deal to get their hands on the new phone, which can cost up to £275, so the maximum cost would spiral well over £1,000 just to be among the first to have the new phone.
Not a bad deal if you don’t want the hassle of wheeling and dealing but a quick search on Google and we came up with a service called Mazuma which will give you £180.00 for the 8 Gig and £200.00 for the 16 Gig all done by post.
