'If you don't like it don't buy it' is really not an acceptable answer, not when the iPhone is pretty much the only GSM phone ever made that cannot be legally unlocked, not even when you have fulfilled the terms of your contract. Basically this means that no matter how long you have had it you never REALLY own the phone. That is simply unacceptable. Especially given how easy it usually is to get the unlock code for any other phone. Basically the policy is that a phone is eligible for unlock 10 months after it's release, provided you are at least 90 days into a contract and have no past due balance. This is an extremely lenient rule, and to be told that you have buy two iPhones, one for domestic use and one for international, is simply unacceptable.
