questions on hacked iphone

so, I want to get an iPhone. Not with AT&T. I live in Asia but go to college in the states. I refuse to commit to a contract anywhere, because I don't want to pay for months I'm abroad or have to use different phones in different countries. Like most reasonable people, I think. Also, installer.app. Holy fucking shit.
Questions- is it really as simple as downgrading with a bundled app from appsnap before getting itunes updates? Does itunes try to automatically shove updates when it's connected?
The itunes app store. This is where a lot of the real action is going to be at. Definitely a huge part of my wanting to get it. Can I still use app store apps if I'm using the stuff you can get now?
I'm assuming there's a required update to use the app store. Rumor is that apple is working on a new brick for 9/27 that also thwarts current resurrectors, etc.

Use Ziphone for your unlocking. Its free and basically you just press unlock and let it run!
Yes, I'm serious.
Hold down shift before clicking "restore" or "update" and it will let you pick any firmware image from your HDD. Copies of all of them can be found everywhere. I can also confirm that homemade ringtones work just fine on 1.1.4.
Here's the sweet hack you are talking about.
I ask this because I've interest iPhones, but a devotion to Verizon. I also have a devotion to not breaking the law; since I was under the impression it was a bad bad thing to unlock and iPhone I resigned myself to hoping the excluive contract AT&T has with Apple goes away sometime soon. If there's really no legal problems here, I'll have to look into it some.
My friend just got an iPhone back in Hong Kong, where there is no partnered provider. EDGE works fine for him, (has a subscription with a 3G provider) and he can connect to his own provider's (PCCW if anyone cares) citywide wifi.
I'm pretty sure he couldn't get visual voicemail to work. But I think most people just text you if they can't reach you. Voicemail is pretty cumbersome in general.

That's the point in having visual voicemail. It isn't cumbersome, and is actually really awesome. I'm able to go to voicemail that I got a week ago, with like 3 taps on the screen. Much better than dialing into voicemail, and skipping messages until you get to the correct one. Visual voicemail will only work on the ATT side, because it has something server side as well as client side. But I have been working on a visual voicemail that works with sip providers for the iPhone.
In the US, that excludes Verizon and Sprint. Coincidentally 2 of the worst providers.
