Fear not frugal iPhone shoppers, Brazilians have come to the rescue with the first iPhone 3G unlock solution using a wafer-thin SIM adaptor.

Using methodology similar to the TurboSIM from the original iPhone unlock Paulo and Breno of DesbloqueioBr use a SIM adaptor which tricks the iPhone into believing a test SIM has been inserted and then allows functionality to continue unabated.

The SIM adapter and chip carry all the software/mechanics needed to complete the unlock and Engadget tested it with both Fido and AT&T locked devices with success - so how much? Where can you get it? When will it be available? Now word yet but check out the video and wait patiently dear reader, your Apple iPhone’s freedom awaits.
