No reason to become angry;
I have a legal iphone bought in Italy and just before updating I read an info on ispazio - large italian comunity for Iphone - then I checked the forum and I found a lot of people who updated their iphone to have problems. If you followed the links - you noticed.
Why would apple do this - well that is the point - for me it makes no sense and I do not believe it is legal - thus I have bought an originally unlocked Iphone and so it should remain unlocked. Many posts would say Apple is doing this to block importing iphones - this would make sense for apple - just for them - because each nation has different plans, and many nations are locked and there is a lot of commerce with imported iphones...Take for example Germany - Here Apple has exclusive rights wit D1 from German telecom - but with imported iphones a lot of people are using vodafone - that's a point - German Telecom paid a lot of money for the exclusive rights; so think about it;Why would apple do this;;;; But I do not think it is legal - even if they do it..
But as I said before updating and then having problems I just wanted to check if anyone had more infos for this issue. Thats all - no reason to be harsh;
You say it does not lock a legal iphone - but there are a lot of post in which is stated that it may lock legal phones - when updating in other countries - thats the point. thats all. I am glad that you personally have not experienced this, and maybe if I would upgrade to 2.2 I will be lucky as you are and have no problems.
Or maybe not - therefore I just reported the posts and maybe there is someone who had this problems or someone who already knows when and why this happens to some users.. Because the problem exists - prove apple forum for example or ispazio - and maybe it happens just in some specific cases - and knowing when and how - someone could avoid it...
PS: For Italian users - largest italian iphone community - post with hint to wait before upgrading - in italian
