Anyone find a way to jailbreak and unlock a 3G iPhone?

Apple changed the baseband on the newer iPhones to 05.09. This prevents one from downgrading to 2.28 to use Yellowsnow to use T-mobile. Anybody have a way?

Update:

After seeing what happens after others updated to 3.0, I (as a programmer) realize that this upgrade is dangerous for the 2G and 3G! The program affects the processor and speeds it up. This can be done in a computer to. But this can cause all kinds of problems including excessive battery drainage and heat. It can also prevent apps to work or sync. The new processor in the 3Gs can probably handle it (I hope). Unless something is done to correct this, a lot of people are going to have messed up iPhones (2G or 3G).

Update 2:

I forgot to name names. It's called overclocking the CPU or the FSB (the later is bad news for an OS).

    Your just in luck, there is a new "yellowsn0w" out called "ultrasn0w" to unlock to any sim card but first you need "redsn0w" which jailbreaks it.

    Here is a tutorial on redns0w, after you have followed those procedures you need to install ultrasn0w from Cydia and it will be unlocked.

    If you go on www.myiphoneunlocker.com you can unlock any iphone, even with the latest 3.0 firmware. I did it the other day, it only took about 5 or 10 minutes
