Are you serious? Considering the fact it's borderline illegal what AT&T and Apple have done, I don't think iPhone users need to respect anything. Hell, I even joined the class-action lawsuit against Apple for the re-locking on the phones. Thats why they are having such a hard time finalizing a deal with Europe because they don't lock phones over there and Apple is getting their panties in a wad. I say hack the iphone all day and night, do whatever we want to do to it. We paid full price for the device and it is our perrogative to do whatever we want to it.
I'm not really disagreeing with, well I kind of am, but I at least understand what you're getting at. I'm going to throw something out there, but with someone such as yourself who has joined the ridiculous class action suit and is so obviously flying off the handle (google it) I don't really expect you to take what I'm saying objectively. Yes you bought the device the, you can do what you want with the device. So go ahead, paint it, use brillo pads on the aluminum and give it the brushed aluminum look, engrave the case, etc etc. The problem is you don't own the software running on the device. Those who have unlocked the phone are tampering with the software (owned by Apple) and that is the problem.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
AT&T and Apple have made an agreement and I think that people should respect that. But it seems like it's a sport to hack every Apple product.
