Guys ~!
Dont mean to be a party pooper, but the next iPhone update will disable those "unlocked" iPhones. From there onwards, updating will be impossible if you still wanna use it. Moreover, you will have to sacrifice all those new functions and fixed bug errors.
New Hacks might be available in no time. But I think it's still a gamble for now.
Don't you think it's time to reconsider our options?
the iphone dev team has promised that they'll release something that'll allow hacked iphones to be restored to factory presets, to allow for firmware updates.. like jobs said, it's definitely a cat and mouse game... each time a new firmware is released, it'll surely be hacked, then the hack will be disabled by newer firmware, hacked again, and the cycle goes on and on...
owners of hacked iphones should be aware of these developments, and not expect their phones to work without problems... I'm not too worried about most of the iphone owners here, coz u all should know well enough not to simply update to the new firmware until it's proven to be safe... However, i'm sure there's bound to be people who'll brick their iPhones, especially those who don't do their research... Imagine those gullible people who paid sky-high prices for their iPhones (like those who paid RM4000++ for unlocked sets)... these are the kind of people who'll be gullible enough to happily click click click in anticipation of having updated firmware, only to find out that it'll brick their phones...
Owning an unlocked iPhone has always been a gamble, and always will be a gamble... it's just a matter of how smart you are to deal with the risks... You can't keep on reconsidering your options all the time, coz it's a never ending chase between Apple and the hackers...

Is it worth it?? My brain says wait for the iPhone to officially arrive in Aussie (God knows when!), but my heart says just get one now...
