Question Unlocked I-phone work on Tmobile?

I'm just wondering as I know it's always been "geared" for Att. Anybody ever had luck with this?

Yes, it is very possible, as I've done it with the first iPhone. The only caveat is when Apple releases a new firmware version not to update the phone right away until an unlock is available for the new version.

Data settings need to be adjusted, but the phone works fine. No 3G though, as the iPhone does not have the 1700mhz band needed for T-Mobile 3G.

Doing the jailbreak/unlock is the best way to go. I've used QuickPWN to unlock mine.

I don't suppose anyone can post an unlocking guide for this? I'm thinking of getting a Smartphone for T-mobile and the iPhone looks really appealing.

Can't post an unlocking guide, but I can post a link to http://www.quickpwn.com/. Proceed at your own risk.
