It would be like Microsoft releasing Windows 7 waiting a couple days and saying, sorry, Your copy of Office 2007 Home edition no longer works, you have to upgrade to Office 2007 Professional in order to use Office.
It isn't the idea of making a profit that bothers me, but don't offer a product and act like it's going to be supported until a day or two after the new software comes out, then say "Sorry, send us another $6 (per phone) to send a picture message. That's my main gripe with them. I was willing to pay $6/phone to send picture messages (I think I've sent/received 10 total in 4 months), but not $12/phone. Now I'm out $6/phone unless I decide to double my money to keep my software functional. Sorry, I didn't realize I was signing up for a subscription.

I can agree this. I will admit i am not pleased with the way they handled the switch but i understand the logic behind it.
What pisses me off more then this swirly business is the way apple is selectively offering functions based on which phone you have.
No mms for the first gen, why? Supposedly because it is not powerful enough.
No video on the 3G? Same reason for the first gen not having mms.
Yet all these functions have been available to the homebrew crowd for a long time. Hell even before the 3G came along.
Anyways, i'm ranting... i agree with your statement. Could of been handled better, but the show must go on.
