The folks over at Go rumors have discovered a way to circumvent this problem. Basically all you need is someone else with an iPhone 4, iPad or iPod Touch 4G with the Find My iPhone service to do this trick. Instructions on how to accomplish this are after the break. Let us know how it works out for you.

I : Get hold of an iPhone 4, iPad or iPod Touch 4G (from a friend or family member who hasn’t set up a MobileMe account yet). Download the free Find My iPhone app by clicking here.
