4. The phone should be unlocked and ready for the Italian SIM.
5. No need for the Gevey SIM card?
Does this sound right? Is there a risk of "bricking" (a term I just learned) by doing this? The material I read about jailbreakme claims that there is no danger of bricking as you can restore the phone anytime.
Thanks
That would work assuming the phone has the applicable firmware and baseband.
The 'people on Craigslist' just use methods posted on the internet. They don't have any special tools or anything like that.
You could try using the Gevey SIM using the instructions I posted too.
