Absolutely agreed, unlocked should mean unlocked to the network.  It shouldn’t 
mean you’re sort of unlocked, you need to have a SIM but otherwise you can use 
the radio and phone as you want.  That’s again weak sauce ™.

If it’s just a connection issue as someone mentioned then why can’t a software 
or even physical bypass switch be included?  Besides it may cost a half penny 
to include?  I think I just answered my own question.

I think AppleSIM is presently a dual-use option on iPad only at the moment.  
It’s a nice idea and apparently does help in certain cases where the 
alternative is full-on international roaming charges (but still not quite as 
cost-effective as buying local, obviously).

But really, yeah, it’s just stupid.  The whole notion of “Activation” is 
meaningless for an unlocked device.  You should just be able to insert a SIM 
card, or not, according to preference, and configure any parameters yourself if 
the phone doesn’t know about them directly.  I could do it on my Nokia E51, for 
heaven’s sake; why not on the iPhone?
