I'm gobsmacked by that - is there any precedent for it? Anywhere? I've literally never heard of any manufacturer locking Wifi support. I'm almost not believing it yet until I see some kind of other confirmation - I can only think that it was meant to say "Wireless" or "3G" or something else, because locking Wifi is just ridiculous.

My god, is it rude to just point and laugh?
