After the numerous ominous warnings last week not to update iPhone 2.0 software because "there might not be a way to ever unlock then new baseband"...there is a way to jailbreak iPhone 2.0.1.  Pwnage tool 2.0.2 was released early this morning by the all night working iPhone Dev Team.

At this point, it is almost no longer news...is it?  ...the cat and mouse game goes on and on...

Notes from Team Dev:

 NOTE: THE UPDATE OPTION FOR CUSTOM RAMDISKS IS NOT YET SUPPORTED FOR USE WITH ITUNES, SO FOR THIS RELEASE OF PWNAGETOOL USE THE RESTORE OPTION.

Please ensure you ONLY download and use the tbz file - as we warned yesterday the re-compressed unauthorized .zip files cause problems with certain parts of the release.

If you choose to download the file  PwnageTool_2.0.2.tbz from anywhere else apart from these mirrors then check the SHA1 sum, AGAIN - ONLY DOWNLOAD THE TBZ!

I think they meant dont update a 3G iPhone to 2.01 IF YOU MIGHT EVER WANT TO UNLOCK IT.
