Hmm, that brings up an interesting thought... from a purely academic point of view... the simlock can't be associated with the actual radio firmware, since the radio firmware can be written without affecting the simlock, which means that the simlock must be on another part of the radio memory that is not written during a normal radio update, so might it be possible to bypass the simlock with a radio image customized to ignore it? Or might it be possible to in some manner overwrite the simlock portion of the memory in a manner similar to a normal radio update? I doubt that they would have huge security over the simlock memory since every gsm phone is made such that it *can be* unlocked.. there probably exists a very simple solution.
