Consumers have not fallen out of love with the iPhone, if Vodafone's 100000 sales figures after just one week are anything to go by.I agree completely. The idea of locking a piece of hardware, a mobile phone especially, to one specific carrier is very arcane. Surely laws should be in place, as with some places in the EU, that allow the consumer to freely use whatever device he/she purchases in whatever way... in some countries it is actually illegal for companies to sim lock a phone, which makes complete sense... I spent my money on it
