Imagine soldering circuit points on a $600 iPhone. It voids the warranty and you won't be able to get AppleCare. I'm rather puzzled as to why anyone would pay so much for a modified cellphone that can be possibly de-hacked with a firmware update. At least there is one hack that doesn't require soldering. That makes a lot more sense in protecting your investment. I suppose it would be cheaper to wait until the European iPhones are released since they probably won’t be tied to any one carrier.
