Star The Unlocked iPhone
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Sat 27th Oct 2007 01:02 UTC
PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Hi-Mobile.net sent us in an unlocked iPhone for testing. We used the iPhone for almost a month now and it's time to write an editorial-type article on the... unlockiness of it all.

Apple now limits the sale of iPhones to people with credit cards to be able to track you, one assumes, in case your phone doesn't show up as those activated with AT&T


Well, technically they're violating PCI requirements if they retain card information or link it with personally identifiable customer data. And I'm not sure that they can actually do anything if they were to track customers daring to exercise their right to use the hardware they purchased as they see fit, but I agree with you that it is a suspect move.

Fortunately, Visa/MC cash cards can work around that problem. ;)
