Since the day of its launch, hackers have been working on a way to release the iPhone from carrier jail, specifically, AT&T jail. Engadget announced yesterday that the folks at iPhoneSIMfree.com have applied a software hack that allows you to use any SIM card with the phone. Click here to see details.

Since the iPhone is coming out in a few weeks in Europe with 3G capability, it makes sense to wait and buy it from one of the European retailers, then apply the hack.

Update: Alexander Casassovici unlocked the iPhone he ordered from the US so he could use it in France with his provider, Bouygues Telecom.
