iPhone 3G to be Shipped Bricked: Internal Memos
 

Don't worry Rogers customers. Despite your really screwed-up service plans (http://technologyexpert.blogspot.com...t-rogers.html), you're not being picked on and thus not the only ones being shipped bricked iPhone 3Gs.

Leaked memos from both Rogers and AT&T indicate that although we know that you won't be able to leave the store without activating the iPhone 3G, they're in fact bricked from the factory, to make unlocking and jailbreaking even tougher.
