    Most of features in ios5 already had by jailbreaking your device. For jailbroken device, its not new.

    • Fa says:

      Ya, it’s not really a new thing for jailbroken user.
      But the question is – can locked iPhone use it?
      I.e. Unlock s/w from dev team & gevey sim

      • RANA says:

        Yes ofcourse but you will have to wait till the baseband preservation jailbreak comes. So please sit tight and pray for hackers to produce any good and solid jailbreak.

    I dont know why everyone is going round saying “oh my god they have copied android!” because they didnt android copied Palm in the first place, the notification idea was NOT androids, it belonged to palm. And considering everything that android has taken from the iphone does it really compare?

      You need a developer registered device to use it. If you are a developer, you can help us with a registration of our devices.

    My iPhone iOS 4.3.3 bb 04.10.01 is locked for carrier and SIM is not working at present. The Phone was working properly 10 days back before new software updating. Can anybody tell, if I subscribe to developer account, and I upgrade it to iOS 5.2 beta, iPhone will be get unlocked or it will still be locked? After developer account registration, I also need to register UDID? Thanks in advance.
