"Bricked" iPhones

When I first read this story
Apple: If your iPhone is bricked because you used unauthorized software, you should buy a new one
I thought it was terrible of Apple, but thinking about it, I think it's necessary.
If you bought the iPhone you had to know its limitations (slow Edge network and bad AT&T plan) and you agreed to the conditions. Also, Apple itself committed to 2 years with AT&T and they have to show their business partners that they're reliable.
It's rough stuff, though. Maybe the warning should have been more specific...

Thanks for the corrections.
There's a good MacWorld podcast (find it on iTunes). They're very upset with Apple.
