thanks
The 2.0 firmware is what comes on the iPhone 3g when you purchase it. The first iPhone had 1.4 firmware that you can not upgrade to 2.0 firmware. You will be able to unlock 2.0 firmware 1st generation iPhones soon. The iPhone 3g you can NOT. The hardware is completely different and hackers have not yet found a way to unlock the 3g to be used on other carriers. Hope this helps - only way I know how to explain it.
