From our front-page news:
With news coming out of Apple the other day regarding unlocked iPhones, we knew that ideas and solutions would pop up rather quickly. The best solution? Re-locking your iPhone. Of course this means that you will be back at square-one, but it also means that you will not void your iPhone's warranty. The good news is that when the upcoming update is applied, there's little chance of cracker groups not coming up with a solution within days.

The unlock hacks are not undone by a full software store; the re-lock process is still in flux and comes with the appropriate warnings to users until finalized, allows users to restore their phone, so Apple's forthcoming update -- due later this week -- does not render it inoperable: "It is believed the above proceedure will relock your iPhone and prevent it from being made permanently unusable by the upcoming firmware update. There is no gaurantee [sic], however, and I take no responsibility for your iPhone if the above procedures do not work for you and your iPhone gets hosed."
