There seems to be a lot of confusion to the subject of unlocking or jail-breaking iPhones. Lots of people seem to think that there is some strict law in place and that by buying a new iPhone you are promising to be a consistent AT&T customer. This is the case. The truth is that you purchased the product, this means you are the owner, and you should be able to use it in whichever way you like. With that being said, often times - especially using software Unlock methods, your warranty that has been provided by Apple will become null and void once you complete the unlocking process, so you must ensure that you unlock your phone in a safe and reliable manner.
When it comes to unlocking your 3G iPhone 2.2.1 there are some techniques and tricks that you need to be aware of in order to complete the whole process. You dont want to end up with an expensive brick rather than a iPhone that can be used for a number of fancy applications. Before deciding to unlock your iPhone you need to understand exactly what the unlocking process entails.
Within the USA, almost every 3G iPhone 2.2.1 will be "locked" upon purchase. The locked iPhone will only allow the phone to work in a certain network such as AT&T for example. If you want to use the phone with another carrier you will need to unlock the phone. The best iPhone unlocking tactics performed is using a hardware "piggy back" SIM card. Place this ultra thin SIMcard on top of the SIM from the carrier you wish to use, and your iPhone is Unlocked. You will essentially be given the freedom to finally use your 3G iPhone 2.2.1 in a way that you deem fit. This hardware unlock method will never void your Apple warranty.
There are certain warnings and precautions that come with unlocking your iPhone.

Search for and find a reliable company that will offer your detailed step by step instructions on how to unlock your phone carefully and in a way that will not risk harm to the phone itself. By using experts such as these you will also be given the details on how to return your phone to locked status if you wish to take it in for service or use the warranty that you undoubtedly purchased along with it. Take your time, make sure you are informed and seek expert advice. Sure unlocking your 3G iPhone 2.2.1 may seem easy enough after reading some free online tips, but do you really want to risk turning your expensive purchase into a useless paperweight?
Proof That 2 1
Overview:
In the past, users who needed to buy a twin loop wire binding machine would have to choose between either 2:1 or a 3:1 pitch machine.
Most users prefer the tight hole pattern and elegant look of 3:1 pitch wire for their small documents. However, 3:1 pitch wire is only available in sizes up to 9/16". Organizations that wanted to bind both large and small documents either had to settle for the more spread out pattern of 2:1 pitch wire or had to buy two binding machines.
The Akiles DuoMac 321 changes all of this. It offers the ability to bind documents using both 3:1 pitch and 2:1 pitch double loop wire. This is ideal for organizations that need to bind both large and small documents.
Strengths / Features:
The DuoMac 321 is designed to punch two completely different hole patterns. The 3:1 pitch hole pattern has three square holes per inch and can be used for binding documents with 3:1 pitch double loop wire, GBC Proclick and 3:1 pitch spiral coil. The 2:1 pitch hole pattern has 2 rectangular holes per inch and can be used with 2:1 pitch twin loop wire and with 2.5:1 pitch spiral coil. This means that it is actually possible to bind documents with five different styles of binding using this one machine.
Both the 2:1 pitch and 3:1 pitch punching throats are fourteen inches wide and offer fully disengageable dies. They also have open throats and continuous punching guides. This means that it is possible to punch any document that is fourteen inches or less using a one step punching process. Sheets that are longer than fourteen inches can be punched using a two step process. All you need to do is punch one side of the document using the punch and then flip it over and punch the rest of the holes. The continuous punching guide will help you line up the holes.
On the right hand side of the DuoMac 321 there are two small gray knobs. These knobs are designed to help you adjust the depth of the holes from the edge of your paper. For smaller sized books it is a good idea to set the holes so that they are close to the edge of the paper. This will help to ensure that your pages will turn freely. For larger diameter books the holes should be further from the binding edge in order to provide added strength to your bound documents.
The DuoMac 321 includes a high quality heavy duty wire closer on the front of the machine. This wire closer is made of heavy duty steel components and should have no problem maintaining its accuracy over time. There is also a wire holder on the front of the machine that will help you hang your documents on the double loop wire in preparation for closing.
Weaknesses / Limitations:
Although it is possible to use this machine with 3:1 pitch and 2.5:1 pitch spiral coil, the DuoMac 321 does not include a spiral coil inserter. It is also important to note that these two pitches of coil can be somewhat difficult to find and are usually produced on demand. If you plan on using this machine with coil it is a good idea to order your supplies with lots of time to spare in order to allow for production lead times.
Each of the different binding styles offered by the DuoMac 321 have their own limitations.
3:1 pitch wire is only available in sizes between 3/16" and 9/16".
Although 2:1 wire can be used to bind larger documents up to 1-1/2" in diameter, this machine can only be used with wires up to 1-1/4" in size.
GBC Proclick binding spines are only available in three sizes (5/16", 1/2" and 5/8") and in four colors. They are only available in eleven inch lengths.
Three to one spiral coil is available in sizes from 6mm up to 50mm. However large diameter coils can be difficult insert, especially with the smaller square holes that are produced by this machine.
2.5:1 pitch coil is only designed for binding large diameter books and is available in sizes ranging from 20mm up to 56mm. However, this coil will need to be inserted by hand because of the slight pitch difference between the holes and the coil.
With all of the features that this machine has, it can be a little bit intimidating to inexperienced users. There are a lot of handles, knobs and buttons on this machine that can be somewhat confusing if you aren't sure what you are doing. This machine isn't really that hard to use. It may just take a little bit of experimenting and reading the users manual.
Recommendation:
The DuoMac 321 is available at such a great price point and offers so many features it hardly makes sense to buy a wire binding machine that can only produce one hole pattern.
This machine is a little bit larger and can be more intimidating than a normal wire binding machine such as the Akiles Wiremac M. However, the flexibility that it offers in terms of document size and presentation appearance are awesome.
