We have released the 0.9.1 beta yellowsn0w 3G unlock application.   
Please note the following:

BASICS

     * The unlock works exclusively with baseband 02.28.00. This  
baseband is provided by the latest firmware update (2.2) from Apple.   
You’ll need to upgrade to this release using iTunes and then use  
QuickPwn to activate etc. There are plenty of tutorials about this on  
iclarified, bigboss, and other established tutorial sites.  Because it  
works on 02.28.00, it is available to everyone on the planet.  This  
means we don’t need to unnecessarily expose holes in earlier  
basebands, which is an important concern.
     * The application is a small daemon that is launched on boot.  It  
injects the payload at boot and also whenever there is a baseband  
reset.  You won’t notice anything about it other than that your third- 
party sim now works.  It’s a small program and unobtrusive.  There is  
no GUI (this is by design).
     * You can add the application using the sources outlined below  
(coming soon). There are Cydia and Installer sources available, so use  
whichever you are comfortable using.
     * yellowsn0w is completely removable through Cydia, the command  
line, and iTunes.
