Update: Watch the video of World’s first unlocked iPhone 4 at the end of the post.
As you know, iPhone 4 was jailbroken using userland jailbreak, a few days ago. The dedication and hard work put in by the members of iPhone Dev Team has finally paid off. Musclenerd and Planetbeing of Dev team have successfully unlocked the iOS 4.0 running on iPhone 4. A few hours ago, @planetbeing tweeted, “Looks like I now have an unlocked iPhone 4. ![icon smile After Jailbreaking, iPhone 4 Unlocked by Dev Team [Video]](http://www.techtickle.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif "After Jailbreaking, iPhone 4 Unlocked by Dev Team [Video]"){kind=icon}
