This is to remember that I have been using my iPhone for over a year now. I remember I was on a business trip to Prague on the 13th of September 2007, and on the way I stopped in Bratislava to check something. I went and fetched my emails, and from an RSS feed I read that someone wrote a console command that “could” potentially unlock the device. Since I had the iPhone for 2 weeks already, I carried it with me everywhere to unlock it as soon as I find a solution. I needed nothing more, I plugged in the iPhone to my laptop and started hacking it. In a matter of an hour, I had it unlocked, and for the very first time, it started operating on Orange SK (Slovakia) network. Ever since, I never put it down, it came with me everywhere I went, and it has never let me down once.
My iPhone was roaming in the following countries already:
Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Austria, England, Russia, United Arab Emirates, China, Hong Kong and the list is still growing. I also took it to Japan, but there was no GSM to support international roaming, so I only used WiFi there.
I plan on keeping it for as long as it falls apart, and to tell you the truth, its still witout a single scratch. I protected it well in a sock-like sleeve and it has kept it like new.
I know this post might be boring for most people, but from time to time I need to get the geekyness out of my system

Damn it, just now that I celebrate having it for one year and prevented it from scratches all along, I walked out of our office yesterday, and it slipped from my hand down onto the floor, and from reflex I wanted to put my foot under it which resulted me kicking the phone ahead for another 2-3 meters. I was ready to punch myself in the face, but then I saw that the damage is not really that bad after all. The floor I dropped it onto was marble, which isnt scratching in nature. Thank you Dubai for being fancy and putting marble everywhere.
