Unlocked iPhones: Round 2

Apple is not guilty of any wrong-doing. Apple can do as it pleases if it doesn't violate its part of the service agreement. If you maintain the functionality of your iPhone by disabling automatic updates, you won't get the security fixes and your iPhone will be vulnerable to attack. Unlocked iPhones are ineligible for repair or replacement under warranty because the phone was modified to alter functionality.

It's worthless to unlock an iPhone. Unlocked iPhone owners can expect a long period of conflict with service outages as Apple and the hackers continue to battle with each other. It's worthless to suffer through the outages for slightly better customer service and a phone with a nifty interface.

In other news, LG has released a phone with a large touchscreen that works exclusively with Verizon. I would buy LG's phone, but I'm happy paying less than twenty dollars a month for a reliable pager.
