(11-02) 11:38 PST — Ace iPhone hacker George Hotz, know as Geohot, is planning a release this week of new code that promises to let users run their iPhone on the GSM cellular network of their choice.

The new free code, due on Nov. 4, is dubbed Blacksn0w, and will offer a baseband unlock of the iPhone 3.1.2 OS version, and the  standard 05.11.07 cellular modem firmware, enabling the phone to run on other GSM carriers besides the “legal” one, AT&T. Hotz has posted a YouTube video, showing the program in effect resetting an iPhone to connect to T-Mobile?s network.
