thanks so much for your podcast, it is very informative and entertaining! at first i was going to request that you post pictures of all of the panel members, but i think that will only mar my imaginative visualization of how everyone looks, so...and although i do not have any other apple product, i have even started listening to your panel members podcasts as well, whetting my appetite for a future macbook down the road...

Be Wary with SIM swap

Mr. Johnston detailed in this podcast on how he was bypassing the early upgrade 3G S fee by using his mother's account to purchase it and then simply swapping his 3G sim card into the new 3G S. Beware that if the 3G S is like previous iPhones (It is I would guess), it will be locked to the SIM card that it comes with, and swapping a different SIM in will not work, even if it is the same service.

I think he did that with the 2G/3G iPhone swap last year and it worked... from what I could understand. *shrugs*
