...well, it finally arrived, shortly after noon today,

An interesting parallel story to this. Our congress just made it
illegal to unlock a phone.
Is you buy a phone locked to X service, it is illegal for anyone but
them to set it free, even after your contract expires


So, harry is a crook... I told you so.


Not for this, Unlocking a phone is different than just cracking into
the operating system and removing Apple's monopoly enforcer.


Jailbreaking a phone or, as you put it, "just cracking into
the operating system and removing Apple's monopoly enforcer," isn't
illegal, either, although your description of the process is a bit
"underdetailed," if you will. What jailbreaking does is open up a closed
OS.


You are tampering with Apple's operating system and violating the TOS
you agreed to when you started using the phone. Just another example of
how low life operates. Lower than whale ****, you are.
