iPhone-dev team released the QuickPwn2.1 tool for windows last week which works like a breeze and the UI makes it extremely simple to use. It unlocks iPhone 2G and jailbreaks iPhone 3G.

Surprisingly, the new 2.1 firmware upgrade doesn’t re-lock the iPhone. So, if you have an already unlocked/jailbroken iPhone running 2.0 or 2.0.x, just go ahead and upgrade using itunes 8 – it wont lock your phone again. (tested on 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2)

more from the dev-teams blog:

Window QuickPwn 2.1
