It’s really amazing, jaw-droppingly so, how people who have hacked/unlocked iPhones still go through with the 1.1.1 update even after Apple explicitly told them that they might brick their unit. I can understand developers/hackers who intentionally do it to test their unlocking software, I can even understand it for people who have bought iPhones with the 1.1.1 firmware already pre-installed (though they can’t do anything about that but wait for a newer update).
But for regular 1.0.2 users who have read the press releases – it’s beyond me why they would even try it. The “features” the new firmware gives, as impressive (or not) as they may be, are useless if you can’t get your phone to work in the first place. I don’t feel sorry for these people at all, if you lack common sense, then you deserve to get your unit bricked.
