Even more of a reason to hate locked devices: some guy took an iPhone to the UK for 2 weeks, roaming of course, rang up a $3,000 phone bill and shit his pants. Who is to blame here? The guy for not knowing about roaming? The operators for not providing lube at the signing of your contract? How about Apple for making it impossible to pop in a SIM card from another telco?
Pick your battles. Good news is AT&T let him off the hook, but it took a blog post on BoingBoing to do it. Sigh.

Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.
