Ever since Apple started Bricking their iPhone from installing any 3rd party application, they have been busy with several lawsuit. & due to the fact that it only work on AT&T.
Here are the some of the stories:

As you all know Apple have the right to choose which ever service provider it wishes to work with. But do they have to torment around 1 million iPhone users.
If Apple ever want to compete in this market they have to make least number of slips. Already Nokia is using Apple's mistakes to their advantage. See below:
See the story @ AppleInsider
Apple should have released a unlocked version of their iPhones. They seems to be pissing off their existing clients and well as any future prospects.
Apple don't stand a chance in this market against other major competition (e.g., Nokia) with their current market strategy. And if Nokia release their version of iPhone to the market the their will be several people switching over to Nokia from Apple.
Seems like Apple has to learn that they should leave the mobile phone industry very soon unless they change they marketing strategies.
