Ok, so before I take the plunge, when I buy the iPhone, how do I unlock it if they say they have to put in a SIM card from AT&T? Every guide I see has the iPhone jailbroken...so my question is:
Can the iPhone be jailbroken while the screen looks like this:

i want to say that the pineapple hack thing I did (what was the name again?) should work since you have to have the computer recognize it as a new device and have iTunes off. So maybe with the iPhone plugged in and iTunes off, the jailbreaking should work? My next issue is, if after the jailbreak, will I be able to use the iPhone as an iPod Touch or will I be stuck at the same screen? If I can use it as an iPod Touch and use Cydia, I'm golden.
A lot of questions nonetheless, but I gotta know if it works.
