that feature is an at&t network feature so it's less disabling it than switching to a network that does not offer it.

Gee who didn't see this coming?



iphoneunlocking.com, a subsidiary of UniquePhones (www.uniquephones.com). was poised and ready to release remote software unlocking services for the iphone today at 12 noon EST. The sale of unlocking codes is on hold after the company received a telephone call from a Menlo Park, California, law firm at approximately 2:54 a.m. this morning (GMT).

After saying they were phoning on behalf of AT&T, the law firm presented issues such as copyright infringement and illegal software dissemination. Uniquephones is taking legal advice to ascertain whether AT&T was sending a warning shot or directly threatening legal action. The logistics of different continents as well as it being a weekend factors into how the situation develops.

Until an assessment is made of the potential of legal action, Uniquephones is unable to release the unlocking software for sale. The company spokesperson also said that the company would also be evaluating what to eventually do with the software should they be legally denied the right to sell it. A substantial delay caused by any legal action would render the unlocking software a less valuable commodity as well as creating unforeseen security issues for the company

until the 3G version comes out, its usless

hope version 2 with 3G will have more features i need.

If features were all that mattered, a well optioned Kia would be far superior to a basic BMW. Of course, there's far more to usability than features. Just ask Motorola. The V3xx has all the above, but the interface still blows. Use an iPhone on a daily basis and you'll likely see what the buzz is about.

As for why Apple DIDN'T put stereo BT in as well as 3G? Perhaps battery life, perhaps they couldn't get the performance they wanted. Again, it's their first phone ever. The big innovation is in the interface and how the touch screen works. HTC's touch is in some ways a first. I have one. It sucks.


They're a joke. They always were. NOT one of the places you'll find a legit solution. A UK company is being harassed by US lawyers over an action that's specifically protected by the US Copyright Office? My ..., they're just trying to garner free press.

House guests were taken to local apple store to in order to keep them awake and recover from jet lag. We spent an hour playing with the iPhone, did everything but make a call (no sim installed).

As you correctly stated, it's cool. Google maps, took pictures of each other, sent to via webmail to friends, watched video, youtube, facebook, etc. etc.

BUT, until they provide unlocked version, it's still on my 'wish list'

iPhone unlocking kid doing pretty well anyway http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/ptech/0....ap/index.html

4GB is no longer offered.
8GB now $399.

On course to ship 1 Millionth iPhone shortly.

Only available in their Clearance section: $299.
Wow!

Wow! Quite tempting.

Or perhaps I will just wait until Sept 28 for the new iPod Touch (8G=$299, 16G=$399), which will also have WiFi but doesn't require signup with the horrendous ATT.

Decisions, decisions.

And I paid $600 for a 8 GB iPhone a month ago.

i found some anecdotal reports here in the comments section of people getting at least some of that additional $200 back...that said, i figure that $200 is the cost of being an early adopter.

We'll see about that when I get back in the US and within reach of 1-800-STEVEJOBS

I called Stevie today

The FT thread on the $100 they get back is here.

(BTW, did you mean early adopter? An early adapter, I think, is what the first iPhone buyers plugged into an AC outlet. )

ooops! wrong thread
