So we are getting iPhone unlocking, but you can only unlock the phone once, and it is $99?

Are you kidding me:

Please be aware you are purchasing software that will be installed on your computer which will unlock your phone via wifi. In the event Apple comes out with a new firmware upgrade which will lock your phone again you hereby agree that Wireless Imports nor its vendor will be held liable or responcible for unlocking your handset again. If your handset becomes locked you will be charged to unlock it again. #

Yeah, I really don’t think so. This is completely worthless. Of course Apple is going to release a firmware update that will lock your phone.

Looks like I will be waiting for the OSS crowd to come to the rescue once again, which is really disappointing since I don’t mind paying for stuff from time to time.

    …and perhaps they should spell check before lettng you know that you are only paying for one “unlocking”…they should be more “responcible” *(see above)

    Buyer Beware!

    That is one heck of a disclaimer when you think about it…how many updates does Apple do in a year? So, if I buy this unlocking software, I can use it for, what…10 minutes?

    Pardon my sarcasm, but life would be easier if Apple and Canada could agree on reducing data rates and bring iPhone to Canada. I know I am not the only one feeling this.

    Great post Chris, thanks for reminding us that there is no such thing as “no strings attached”.

    I understand and agree about the iPhone in Canada. And I agree about that site using spellcheck a little more before posting things to their website.
