New iPhone software bricks unlocked handsets

Link: BBC NEWS | Technology | Apple iPhone warning proves true

Plenty of chatter around the Internet this lunchtime that the new version of Apple’s iPhone software is merrily bricking handsets that’ve been modified to work on networks other than AT&T.

If you’ve got an unlocked handset, my tip is *NOT* to upgrade the software until things have calmed down a bit. Otherwise you may end up with an expensive doorstop!
