The two big teams claiming iPhone software SIM unlock solutions (iPhoneSIMfree and UniquePhones) have been a bit mum of late, but while iPhoneSIMfree’s hack is supposedly due by tomorrow, you just might have a free (as in beer) alternative — if you’re the type to believe the hype you read on internet forums. Unknowns the Deathcorp team claim tomorrow, September 1st, will also mark the wide public release of their iPhone SIM unlock software, which is supposedly going to be distributed with no charge to you, unlike iPhoneSIMfree’s forthcoming release, and UniquePhones’s intended, but waylayed, launch. As usual, we’ll be there to sort the fact from the fiction.

What a refreshing change of pace! AT&T actually beat its estimate of “early September” for its variant of the Motorola RAZR 2, the V9 — albeit in a rather bizarre shade, “mahogany” (where we come from, that’s called purple, but whatevs). Though it’s not showing up on AT&T’s online store just yet, it’s showing up for their business “premier” customers (note the screen shot above) and seems to be filtering into brick-and-mortar locations as we write this. The premier site shows a rather shocking off-contract price of $749.99, though with a combination of discounts, rebates, and contracts, it should fall into a far more reasonable price range for pretty much everyone involved. Seriously, $750? Sheesh.

The New York Post is reporting that Apple’s September 5th dog and pony show is set to usher in the age of iTunes as ringtone-management software for iPhone. Apparently the rumored service will see iTunes able to convert any song into a ringtone — for a fee, of course — and you’ll even have the ability to dictate which portion of the song becomes the tone. The offering will also include the ability to use previously purchased tunes as ringtones, and we’re hoping your own music in iTunes, too. We’re feeling this is long overdue, but can assume that Apple could have been in conversation with the labels to sort out the financials of all this magic. Watch this space next week for more news on pricing and availability — if indeed, it actually pans out.
