Bad Ash has jailbroken the correct.
First, you won't be able to leave AT&T without a contract or an unsubsidized phone, which greatly increases the cost of getting the phone ($600-$900 probably).
Second, even unsubsidized, it will still be locked to AT&T (they will not be giving you an unlocked phone, just not making you sign a contract -- you'll still need pay-as-you-go/month-to-month AT&T service).
Third, if they unlock or iPwn 2.0 release, like Bad Ash said, the 3G radio is not compatible with all 3G networks, like T-Mobile in the US, so you would be stuck on 2.75G/EDGE. I'm not sure whether the aGPS would work, since it hits cell towers for the "a" part (it might anyway?)
The only advantage to jailbreak would be jailbreak-specific apps, which means stuff App Store wouldn't allow - VoIP over EDGE, pr0n, multitasking apps sans-notification server, etc.

Can anybody tell me if the new iPhone 3G will be software unlockable? Those of us who live in countries where it is not available unfortunately need to do this to be able to use the phone.
