Folks, if you relock your phone, changes are you will never get it unlocked again under the new software, because Apple has said they are trying to prevent it (cat and mouse, remember?).If you like your phone with this stuff, don't update it. That's your only choice.
Someone taze Steve Jobs for doing what he has been doing forever, selling sexy Silicon Snake Oil. How do consumers keep falling for this stuff as sexy? (everyone chime in: marketing, marketing, marketing) The Apple II looked sexy when it came out, but it really was just junk. Same with the Mac SE. And those Powerbooks. Same with the iphone. More junk. Its all junk people.
