One of the most severe criticisms leveled against the Apple iPhone was that it was locked down to AT&T, one of the least popular of all US cell phone service providers.  Poor customer service, spotty coverage, and the slowest data network of the major carriers are just a few of AT&T's major downsides, which left people scratching their heads over Apple making them the exclusive partner. 

As was reported widely last month, folks figured out how to unhook the iPhone from AT&T and connect it up to any carrier in the US.  The story got even more interesting when a group said they had a software solution they were prepared to sell so customers could free themselves from AT&T.  There's been plenty of video and photographic proof to show it's real and doable.  But until recently, no one had shown off the process from start-to-finish.

The guys over at Engadget have a HD video up showing the process from turning on the phone, all the way to getting it working with a T-Mobile account.  If you're an iPhone owner and want free of AT&T, or would have considered one if it weren't for AT&T, this may be of particular interest to you.
