If you buy a locked
iPhone and you unlock it using Gevey, you will not be able to upgrade to iOS 5 as the baseband gets upgraded and Gevey does not work with the new baseband. Also, no other unlock tricks work for iOS 5 ATM (neither are any expected anytime soon).
Some websites like cutyoursim.com can factory unlock an iPhone for you. But they have varying rates depending on the carrier and do not unlock ATnT as of now. So if you are planning to buy a Gevey unlocked phone, and thinking for migrating to iOS 5 in the future, I would advise you to check the rates on this website and chose a phone that was originally locked to a network that is cheap to factory unlock.
My advice will be to avoid phones that were originally locked to a US carrier.
Oh well, i think you can preserve your baseband while updating and ultrasn0w and gevey should still work. Also, Ultrasn0w 1.2.4 is compatible with ios5 ( all this research for nothing *sigh*) And yes, I am looking for a factory unlocked iphone4 only. However, i cant stretch my budget beyond 400$.
