    Hi guys,

    Vodafone gave x2 iphone 3gs to the company my friend works for. One in box and one activated on vodafone network already (presumable registered to company)

    I want to buy and use it sim free- is 235 a good price?

    should i go for the pre-activated one or boxed one as i will want to unlock it?

    Will i have any trouble jailbreaking the EITHER of them- version 3.1.1

    ie- if activated by friends company does this mean i need the registration details for future?

    if the non activated one is the best option can i unlock without activation and will there be any restrictions?

    any other advice? what functions will not be available?

    thank you very much in advance!

    It's a good price.

    I'm surprised the software version is 3.1.1. You can unlock that version. But not 3.1.3 which is the current latest version.

    Go for the boxed one, if it's the same version you are in business. You will use iTunes to 'activate' the iPhone with a vodafone sim. Then you'll jailbreak it using Spirit, and unlock it using Blacksn0w.

    If you want to active it without a vodafone sim, then use Blackra1n. (but that seems to have funny impacts to wifi and its tethered etc.) OR go for the already activated one.

    Enjoy!
