None of the discussions have included any compelling arguments, just

I have played with a locked iPhone, and it was neat, but not my Treo.
A real argument would include some examples or differentiations about
how your iPhone experience differs given the unlocked/hacked/whatever
nature of your particular device.  What has unlocking it given you in
particular, as "unlocking" has many different connotations, so
specifics would be appreciated...

I am into banter as much as the next guy, but that statement has not
helped compel me to care about the iPhone; where a "Look at me SSH
into my home system and download an ISO via screen/wget" would
definitely catch my attention.

Assuming "can't" is no better than a blind opinion.  On the other
hand, tell me why I should get one....

Thanks!
