I would not like to see them "loose" nor would I to seem the lose, either. A lot of the iPhone cases are for really random things with no merit. However, this case is completely legit in my book. I mean, these people shelled out $400-$600 for an UNSUBSIDIZED phone that they knowingly buy locked: fine, they knew that at time of purchase. Because it's unsubsidized, AT&T nor Apple have to give the people the unlock code if I understand that law correctly. But if they unlock it themselves, it's complete BS not only for them to release that update that iBricks the phone but for it to void their warranty, too. I mean, most times I agree that these people didn't have to take the update but this was really underhanded.

I like AT&T and Apple, but they've really been doing some effed up things regarding this iPhone. The problem is they hadn't planned this out carefully (AT&T paying Apple each iPhone purchased rather tan each iPhone activated) so the people are screwed in the end. Thumbs down to the both of them.
