As promised last month, the iPhone Dev-Team has now released their iPhone 4 unlocking tool, Ultrasn0w, which can be used by U.S. owners tired of being stuck on AT&T.
The carrier unlock required a complete rewrite of the software because of Apple's new baseband OS for the updated phone.
It is important to note that users who unlock their iPhone 4 can use T-Mobile's cell network but not its high-speed 3G data.
