Good News : A few minutes ago @planetbeing tweeted that he has reached the final step in unlocking the iPhone 4′s baseband. We can expect the unlock for iPhone 4 any minutes from now!
His caption : My soft-unlocked iPhone 4 (in Canada). I’ll have video in a couple of hours once I can top-up the SIM.
Bad News : Spirit for iPhone 4 will be released only after iOS 4.0.1 arrives which may be delayed. (They have reasons for doing so. Apple plans to patch all the new jailbreaks and unlocks by releasing the new iOS 4.0.1 and hence all they work will go in vain.)

Initially iPhone 4 baseband could not be unlocked, due to a few hardware changed in the new phone, and as a result a new unlock was required. Thanks to @MuscleNerd and @planetbeing, we can finally get our iPhone 4′s unlocked. Here are a few updates from them, thats confirms the iPhone 4 baseband unlock :
It means the “next step” demoed in http://is.gd/doLnzhas been reached, so now there’s just 1 final step
Full i4 bars with custom “steve” background task spitting out “One more thing” http://is.gd/doJXt – all pieces in place:)
Next step is to keep the task backgrounded like we did for 3G/3GShttp://is.gd/dh7Jh. Backgrounded task is the unlock.

Oh! I forgot to mention about an untethered jailbreak that comex will be releasing soon. Yep! Thats right, we can expect Spirit for jaibreaking iOS4 and iPhone 4 and it will be an untethered jailbreak.
