Dev team's newest release is WinPWN 2.5 Beta. This jailbreaking tool gives you the ability to update your phone to 2.0.2 firmware while preserving your modem firmware for future unlocks. This means if you have not used itunes to update your phone since 2.0.0 (release firmware) then you are still running on 1.45 modem firmware which is what the dev team is trying to hack. Once it is hacked you will be able to unlock your phone. To check modem firmware click settings, general, about and scroll to modem firmware.
