If Apple releases an update that locks your phone again, you have to pony up the 99 again to get back your freedom. Check out http://www.chrisjdavis.org/excuse-me for more.

I don't get why so many who are already locked to ATT are so willing to want to unlock the phone. Except maybe for overseas usage perhaps.

Can't apple just create some workaround so that in the future it won't work with another service provider? Unless I am mistaken, the unlock makes it so that you can use the iPhone with Spring, Verizon, T-Mobile, etc. ? Sounds great. Hope it stays that way, and it is not just until they do their next software update.
