Access Safari on your unactivated 1.1.1 iPhone

TUAW reader fraggle tipped us to these instructions showing how to access Safari on your unactivated 1.1.1 iPhone. By unactivated, I'm talking about the phones that say "Connect to iTunes" and allow only emergency calls. The hack involves using the iPhone contact list to enter and access web site addresses.

This morning, a couple of intrepid iPhone users tested this out for me (thank you xorl and SmileyDude) and confirmed that the hack works. They were able to skip steps 6-8 on their bricked iPhones but you may need to do those steps if your 1.1.1 iPhone is new-in-box.

Am I right in thinking that if I had a completely new out-of-the-box v1.1.1 iPhone I would be able to use this exploit to unlock + jailbreak my unactivated iPhone without ever having to register with AT&T?

I use dvd to iPhone converter to covert my dvds to iPhone.Someone told me it is invalid.But I think it is valid if I just convert my own dvd.

It could be useful... if you can access the site with an exploited tiff image to jailbreak it... you should then potentially be able to activate the iPhone without ever putting in an AT&T sim.
