Jailbreak/Unlock Status
Naturally, as the iPhone 2G was a first generation device, it is one of the more hack-friendly iDevices. It is susceptible to Pwnage 2.0 for an untethered jailbreak, and will remain that way since it is a hardware-based exploit. The iPhone 2G unlock is also available and is unfixable by Apple. The iPhone Dev Team created BootNeuter which can remove restrictions the Baseband Bootloader imposes and unlock the iPhone 2G no matter what.
