and i fully agree with your arguments... Apple made the error of a lifetime by locking the use of that cellphone for one provider only, and it will cost them a lot to break that deal ... i suppose that's the reason it's not done yet.

i had a iPhone long before it was released, and i think it was a wrong idea to have it released by AT&T, because they are not providing service where the clients are... i had a hacked iPhone before it was released myself because i'm out of the network... and i was developping some apps for Apple as well as beta-testing some dev apps ... and the games!... so i had to hack it the exact same way you've done yours.. but it was on the official way.. lol

anyway, back on topic... you hacked it... good thing if it worked... i know some guys that hacked theirs and they broke 'em... stupids

Yeah honestly it sounded like you were against it. But your right AT&T says they are everywhere when they are not. They are not where the clients are.

And why should I sign a 2 year contract with AT&T when there service is not even where I live. I would be signing 2 years for something I don't use. That is why with T-Mobile its in my area and I am going to fully use there service.

And yes Apple did make a big mistake in locking the phones. It was because well Mac people think Mac products can't be hacked and well anything is able to be hacked. Just time and effort is required. But Apple isn't losing money AT&T is because they suck and people don't want to be with them. Apple is gaining so much money because people are realizing they can have there own iPhone without AT&T.

The only down side about hacking an iPhone once it's broke you better have a backup!

And if you lose it, break it, destroy it YOU WILL NOT get a free one. It's your own money down the drain.

That is why I take care of the expensive things I have.
