On July 11th Apple launched the new iPhone also known as the iPhone 3G. In many countries it is sold exclusively by certain carriers and locked to their networks, so it cannot be used with other mobile network operators.
While the first generation iPhone has been hacked and unlocked very successfully, the process on the 3G seems a lot more difficult.
We started this competition to provide an additional incentive for those who work on the 3G soft-unlock, to show our support and to hopefully speed up the process.
The idea for this competition was born on the hackint0sh iPhone Forum, please ask questions there.
