Wow fancy that apple users have had no flash support for the past 4years or so and they claimed tgey were not bothered.noe html5 is coming out there all bothered.Strange people its all excuses will them.The only reason i bought my tablet was for internet browsing and having the full use of the internet is important and not how many games does your phone play.Pathetic

        i think guys you haven't realized it's already unlocked, i bought one from apple store, i told him i'll activate it at home, so as long i got home, i insert my international sim card, the iphone just works fine and there was no problems in detecting the network... i think if you buy it and you just use att, it will send request to unlock it, i wish people start to stop using AT&T until they fix there stupid way.

          And the best part is "Google is giving you a free tool to convert Flash ads to HTML5".

          They are very nice after all. Taking in mind google was the only main reason Flash Mobile was here....hehehe.

          So if Goolge kicks Flash out this will be more that just a nail on Flash coffin...And all the devices that use HTML5 are the winners here.

          There will be no need to "Flash Devices" so, no iPhone users will care if iPhone will use Flash or not :P

            epicfail, 20 Nov 2011Who cares just another fault with an apple product.Also wha... moreDid you read the news?...Flash Mobile is not longer supported by adobe

            Slowy all the sites will change to HTML, and Google is starting to do that...

            And Apple will NEVER include Flash since THEY WIN choosing HTLM5 from the start...and they don't need to include Now that flash....is a slowly bleeding to death technlology....:P

            Now is a matter of time JavaScript go away from the HTML5 and the HTML5 control will be complete...

              Who cares just another fault with an apple product.Also whats the big fuss about html5?.its a shame that a phone that claims to be everything cant do the most important thing it should be doing.Its took 4 generatiins and still theres no flash support and html 5 is miles away.All this crap about slowing the net down is bull.if youve got a decent enough spec phone or even a dual core one then whats the problem?.Its just the usual apple users making excuses.

                      Anonymous, 18 Nov 2011Just so that people know, putting the phone onto airplane m... moreI was doing that since my iPhone 3G back in 2008, all unlocked iPhones have had hot swappable SIMs.

                      With none of the putting it in aircraft mode and ripping the back off either, just take out the SIM tray, swap SIMs then put it back.

                              It's because at&t is going to buy mobile that's why the sim card work like in Australia Vodafone sim cards work in 3 (phone company) phone

                                I guess if you like this feature, you should upgrade to the next version of iOS. Apple will surely close this loop hole in some future version of iOS.

                                    Check the gsm arena SGS2 review for more info.

                                      another easier method is available...buy iphone 4s off-contract from at&t...remove the at&t sim...insert a sim of your choice and connect your phone to itunes and you will get the message "your phone has been unlocked"

                                      p.s. do not switch on the iphone when the at&t sim is inside it...then this method will not work...
