Apple warned people, but some still tried to update their unlocked iPhones with update 1.1.1, sometimes but not always resulting in iBricks (note that there have been reports of clean phones also being bricked). One of those thus bricked, Timothy Smith, has filed a class-action lawsuit against Apple in Santa Clara County Superior Court.

I hope they lose!

as a company I don't see why they are trying to stop it. I would think it's all about making money. If they let people unlock them on different networks then more people will buy them. I know they have a deal with AT&T but thats limiting how many people can use there phone since only crazy people would sign up with them since the service sucks.

whatever I don't play on buying a iphone anyways.
