The iPhone Dev Team has released AnySim, their GUI application to unlock the iPhone. This should make the free software unlock practical for a wider audience than their original command-line solution.
If you are eager to buy a new iPhone and use this unlock hack because you are a T-mobile customer in the US and still on contract, or because you are outside the US, I’d hold off for a little while. It is very likely that Apple will release an iPhone update within the next few weeks when they roll out the mobile version of the iTunes store, it may even come as soon as this Tuesday, when they are expected to announce European iPhones. That update, or any other could relock the iPhone and break existing unlock software. What’s more, there is no telling how long it will take people to create new unlocks. You may be in the position of either having an iPhone you can’t use at all, or an iPhone you can’t update with new features. I’d suggest waiting a few weeks to see what happens. Ok, you have been warned. Have fun.

You’ll need a tool like iBrickr (for Windows) or iFuntastic (for Mac) to install the app on your iPhone.
