hmm since this is a car forum, i guess its not a bad idea to use cars as example...
if you MOD your car, any mod you do voids the cars warranty...
oh yea... if you mod your xbox 360, you void the warranty
if you haven't figure it out yet...any sort of modding on any consumer goods results in voiding the warranty... Apple's trying to avoid the long line at the Apple store with a bunch of retards that think its Apple's fault that their phone don't work.
Don't you just hate it when companies actually try to make their products better? shame on them.. I wish BMW would do a recall on their fawking windows so I didn't have to fix them twice after they broke when my car was out of warranty (it broke once UNDER warranty)

...apple said it might brick the phone... they didn't say if you do, it guaranty that it doesn't work.. if you notice, they recognize the fact that iphone users are hacking their phones. They're just trying to cover their asses... also push a few new apps on the iphone. I dont think you're "forced" to update on the iphone... can anyone confirm that?

hmm.. must be no apple fans over there where you are.. i see them daily h:
Its kinda funny how people (i'm guilty as well) bitch about how expensive the iphone is.. my HTC 8525 is MSRP at $599 as well.. but there's rebates with most places that you can buy them from. But i guess when you're a small company like Apple, you gotta make every dollar count since your market share is so small

Apple-haters here. My friend just got an N95 though. That thing is awesome!

Personally, I just got a replacement Wing for my old one that broke. I'm already bored w/ it again.
