I have a computer virus, would you like to try it? I have a Mac, so I
don't have a computer to try it on.

And Apple has said their planned iPhone firmware upgrade could brick
your phone if its been altered by some of these hacks, and as such
you'd lose all warranty rights.
You'd be wise to wait till the WiFi store upgrade comes out and see
what still works if you need to unlock an iPhone

I think that's all posturing personally. Neither Apple nor AT&T want
Europeans taking advantage of the weak dollar and competitive Amercan
pricing and buying phones here for use there.
As far as avoiding bricking, I assume any iPhone "hacker" could
simply rewrite an "official" firmware file to the device before
upgrading, or simply hard-reset.
My suspicion is that Apple will close the current way into the phone,
setting back the hackers for awhile until a "hack 2.0" is developped.

I'd actually recommend the opposite, if the growing number of 3rd-
party _useful_ apps are more important to you than being able to buy
the song playing over Starbuck's PA system instantly while you waste
$5 on a burnt latte! Unlock NOW and _stop_ updating via iTunes until
the "all clear" is sounded by the user/hacker community! It's quite
possible the next update will lock the phone down tighter, and you'll
miss the window of opportunity to open up the phone.

You'd be wrong.

Apple hasn't yet understood that they're in the phone market with this
thing--a market they don't own any piece of, a market full of (a) people
with money, who (b) love to spend it on phones, and who (c) will reject
any manufacturer who pulls crap like this.

I meant Apple wouldn't rig an update to intentionally "brick" (render
useless) a hacked iPhone. I assumed the update would attempt to
relock an unlocked or "jailbroken" phone.

My guess, again, is that they're trying to protect higher margin
European sales, by preventing unlocked iPhones from "emigrating."
It's only a matter of time before the iPhone is rehacked, but
hopefully (from Apple's POV) they'll have a successful European
launch and first quarter first.
