Currently the unlocked 8GB iPhone 3GS is already being sold in Canada for $549 CAD ($532 US). Soon Canada will be getting the unlocked iPhone 4 sets from Apple, news that Apple has now confirmed.

In case you are unfamiliar with the term ‘unlocked’ it means that Apple will not be restricting the Canadian iPhone 4 owners to a specific service carrier. Instead, owners will be free to use their handset with whichever cellphone carrier they see fit. Of course this carrier-free package will come with a price.

So far, Apple’s customers had been unlocking and jailbreaking their devices to get the most of out of them. Many iPhone owners considered it ‘wrong’ or ‘illegal’ to jailbreak or unlock their devices. Apple certainly did because if the warranty became void in case you had jailbreaked or unlocked your device.

You will find many iPhone jailbreaking guides on the web. But most of them are unreliable and might present troublesome problems for new iPhone owners.

If you are not familiar with Cydia, it is the store for apps not authorized by Apple. Basically, Cydia is what you jailbreak your phone for. Recognizing that there were many iPhone owners unable to find reliable jailbreaking guides and unable to take advantage of Cydia, Cydia’s owner (Jay Freeman) decided to take matters into his own hands.

Freeman recorded the video regarding the iPhone 4 jailbreak being developed by @comex, @musclenerd, and @planetbeing. His mention of this jailbreak makes it reliable. Check out the video to find what Freeman had to say about the jailbreaking process.

“Cult of Mac” reports that a highly placed source at T-Mobile revealed what he believed where the chances of Apple and T-Mobile joining hands. The source said there was an 80% chance of T-Mobile getting the iPhone 4 in the third quarter of this year.

Of course what 80% exactly means in this scenario is indeterminable. However this rumor only further supports what most of already know: Apple is looking to end the AT&T exclusive relationship and looking for other carriers. Sprint is not an eligible candidate. T-Mobile is a GSM network and an interesting proposition.

iPhone 4 was one of this year’s highly anticipated smartphones. When it was released, many buyers reported a loss of reception when the held the phone the normal way i.e. their palm covering the lower back of the phone. Since iPhone 4 had merged the antenna with the casing, the palm covering the casing affected the antenna’s performance.

After weeks of testing, Apple held a press conference at which Steve Jobs admitted that iPhone 4 had a problem. He went on to say that this was a physics problem and was present in all smartphones to different degrees.
