As I expected, a class action has been filed.
The iPhone isn’t the first carrier-locked device — I was a longtime Sidekick user which us why I’m with T-Mobile now — but the iPhone is significantly higher profile and Danger wasn’t bricking hacked sidekicks. As a side note, I [...]
This is something I’ve been meaning to write for a while. My usual Thursday evening writing time is instead being spent in my office at work while I wrestle with an annoying problem that just won’t go away, so I’ll take a brain break and get this out of my head.
For those who don’t [...]

Don’t upgrade to 1.1.1, in case you didn’t realize that. Really, don’t upgrade to any new firmware until the community has determined it doesn’t break anything. Then wait a week after that so you are confident there are no time bombs. If it’s not obvious, I’ll happily post my results here as [...]
iPhone update will likely brick unlocked phones.
Needless to say, let braver souls try the updates before you install them.

After a few false starts before finding the guide I linked to previously, I’m up and running on T-Mobile flawlessly. Everything Just Works, aside from the Visual Voicemail — you just get regular voicemail. Fine by me, since i use Grand Central, which has its own visual voicemail system.
Given how well this works, [...]
I’m making an attempt at using an iPhone. The combination of the reduced prices and the ability to unlock the phone (so I can continue to use T-Mobile and not the DeathStar) has made me more amenable to giving it a shot. The 4GB version is on clearance for $300, far more palatable [...]
The Steve Jobs Patented Reality Distortion Field must have received some sort of upgrade, because from where I’m sitting, the big sparkly demo of Leopard at the WWDC Keynote was a big steaming pile of mediocrity.
