Nokia has started to take control of Apple's iPhone situation by starting a campaign against them. The campaign was the posting of worded adds in New York City this past weekend. As Apple had warned, the software patch disabled versions of the Apple handset that had been unlocked to operate on wireless carries other than AT&T. The update added a few new features like the Wi-Fi iTunes Music Store. However, the update destroyed on a number unmodified iPhones and those iPhones which had been only modified to run third-party software applications but had otherwise remained locked to AT&T(like mine). Users who wanted to get help with their phone were turned away in the same manner as those users who had unlocked the devices against Apple's stated policy.
Apple's stance was met with outrage because, unlike unlocking, users who had installed third-party applications (like myself) simply to increase the usefulness of their pricey handsets. In addition, to those who had done nothing at all were suddenly being informed that they had voided their warranty on the iPhone and that they could not help them.
