I'm not a hater though, from the description it sounds like it was on accident. Still... i wish they would just let people do what they want with the damn things!

It's Vodafone with an f, not Vodaphone with a ph. (Heh even my Firefox spell check knows it's wrong.)

Yeah it's only a trademark but the misspelling always annoys me.]]>Aug 5th 2008 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/05/iphone-2-0-1-breaking-some-carrier-unlocks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/05/iphone-2-0-1-breaking-some-carrier-unlocks/

These are legit unlock users who have payed a premium;
and Apple is pushing this as bug fix auto update.
Its Apple's responsbility to make sure things work as they supposed to.

In addition I always find the term "unlocked phone" is an strange word in the world of GSM/WCDMA phones, as the subscriber information us designed to be carry by the SIM / USIM card and be able to use service on any GSM / WCDMA phone with the right band.

In other words, it should be just a "normal" phone or a locked phone, instead of "unlocked" phone.

However the U.S. Market is sadly exactly right using the "unlock" expression with locked phones as the norms.]]>Aug 5th 2008 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/05/iphone-2-0-1-breaking-some-carrier-unlocks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/05/iphone-2-0-1-breaking-some-carrier-unlocks/

PRO:
MUCH better SMS performance. Overall, snappiness too. So far so good.

CON:
No MMS
No Video recording
No Flash
No Copy/Paste]]>Aug 5th 2008 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/05/iphone-2-0-1-breaking-some-carrier-unlocks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/05/iphone-2-0-1-breaking-some-carrier-unlocks/Aug 5th 2008 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/05/iphone-2-0-1-breaking-some-carrier-unlocks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/05/iphone-2-0-1-breaking-some-carrier-unlocks/

My old cell could do this and a lot of other things, and it cost's under 1/10 of the IBone!!

Wake up, Apple fan-boys]]>Aug 5th 2008 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/05/iphone-2-0-1-breaking-some-carrier-unlocks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/05/iphone-2-0-1-breaking-some-carrier-unlocks/Aug 5th 2008 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/05/iphone-2-0-1-breaking-some-carrier-unlocks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/05/iphone-2-0-1-breaking-some-carrier-unlocks/
I bought an iPhone 3G, well knowing it was missing some features, like MMS, turn-by-turn GPS, a proper Danish carrier (yes it is a feature here), higher HSPDA speed. BUT the awesome design (both aesthetic and the whole multi-touch idea), great capacity and fantastic software, it all comes together.

Of course iPhone is not the answer for everything, but in that case it is just great Nokia, HTC, Sony Ericsson, Samsung etc. exist.]]>Aug 5th 2008 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/05/iphone-2-0-1-breaking-some-carrier-unlocks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/05/iphone-2-0-1-breaking-some-carrier-unlocks/
I don't know about the video, but I think they purposely leave MMS out, like they have something against MMS. They stay mum about MMS yet come out and say that copy/paste isn't a high priority, yet don't even acknowledge MMS and Video Recording. Other issues they publicly talked about. Like on the 1st gen, they said that 3G used too much power. Then they added 3G & GPS and then came out about Turn by Turn navigation. They even came out about Copy & Paste. Obviously the features they stay mum about are even lower on their list.]]>Aug 5th 2008 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/05/iphone-2-0-1-breaking-some-carrier-unlocks/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/05/iphone-2-0-1-breaking-some-carrier-unlocks/
