Okey, now that Nexus One (aka Google phone, Android) is wide open lets compare it with iPhone and how much money we need to own of these gadgets. Although, if money is not an issue then you can purchase the Nexus One unlocked hardware for $529 and get an iPhone through AT&T. Back to money matters, BillShrink already came up with the total cost of ownership comparison and it seems like owning a Nexus One is little bit cheaper the iPhone.

Hacked iPhone 3G baseband - iPhone 3G unlock coming soon!

The iPhone Dev Team who earlier provided a jailbreak for the iPhone 2.0 software but not completely unlocked for the iPhone 3G, which means you and me are still not free from the claw of the iPhone exclusive carriers.

According to the team’s blog post achieved a hack to the iPhone 3G baseband while leaving everything else alone. The approach/solution is through software which they explain it in their own post:


We have accomplished this by being able to execute our own code on the baseband that allows us to circumvent security checks and flash the baseband with older, disallowed firmware. Please note this has been accomplished using software only, the iPhone 3G has not been disassembled or hardware modified in any way.
