The buzz right now among online hackers is how to unlock Apple's iPhone, and make it usable on operators other than the current exclusive operator, AT&T Wireless. There's clearly a big potential market too: one US teenager who managed to unlock his iPhone subsequently traded it for three more 8GB iPhones AND a $30,000 sports car.
But before you get your soldering iron out, beware. You could get a nasty surprise. One iPhone owner who followed unlocking instructions from a website managed to blow their handset up. Ouch.
