Unlocking iPhone 3GS with 3.1 Pre-installed ...?

I bought an iPhone 3GS three weeks ago .. but unfortunately, I got it with 3.1 pre-installed ..

I was able to Jailbreak it yesterday using Blackra1n ... but do you believe a SIM unlock will available anytime soon ?!

Please don't tell me to do the SIM unlock at 3.0.x ... since I can't downgrade to that ...

Any ideas or comments would be appreciated ...

    For those of you who have patiently been waiting to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS with the 3.1 software, your patience is about to pay off. According to MuscleNerd all of the testing is complete and the new PwnageTool is almost ready to be released to the public.

    Regarding the iPhone 3GS 3.1 software unlock, if you have already updated to the official 3.1, there still is no known way to unlock your device. In order to unlock the 3.1 software on a iPhone 3GS, this next version of the PwnageTool will be needed to make a custom IPSW file to preserve the 04.26.08 baseband firmware. Again — that older baseband is needed if you plan on unlocking your device successfully.
