while to answer your question, due to at&t paying apple a large sum of money to make it worth their while to make the iphone att only, unless you jailbrake your iphone you cant use it with any other cell service provider. meaning that anyone who wasnt willing to switch their service to at&t wouldnt be able to use an iphone, and thus wouldnt buy one, prejailbreak only of course. pretty much all it comes down to is jailbreak = more money for apple, and at&t getting screwed. not that that will stop them from making jailbreaking a warranty breaker, because its one more excuse to make more money, not that i can blame them. im pretty sure if you gave steve jobs a rock and told him there was a penny in it, he would squeeze more copper out of it then moses could water. seeing as how easy figuring out how to create the jailbreak software was, it begs the question, did apple leave this vunerablity on purpose or possibly even leak the original jailbreak sofware? i dont see any reason why they woudnt have, cuz if i was steve jobs, thats exactly what i would have done :)
