Just to avoid some potential confusion: to the best of my knowledge, what I wrote was correct about the TC4-RC30 and TC5-RC8 updates that have been sent respectively by T-Mobile US and T-Mobile UK to the people who bought the G1s that they sell.
Like I said, Android in its current state does not contain any facility for SIM-locking, which are handled at a lower level in the G1. However, Android does include facilities to update itself *and* the lower layers that it sits on top of, so I'm not in a position to guarantee that a future update would not update that code and cause problems. What I said, very strictly, is that as of today I'm not aware of any risk that the updates that are currently sent by T-Mobile would prevent you from using non-T-Mobile SIMs. I might be wrong. And even if that's true of the current update, that might not be true of future updates.
