In Europe the phone was released on the O2 network so of course it should work fine, I would think that is common sense and you wouldn't try to argue that point, but I'm sorry I didn't explicitly say that.
At any rate, right now nobody knows whether or not Apple put in code to purposely brick hacked iPhones. It's quite possible that it's just a bi-product of the firmware upgrade. If you have a hacked phone that's the risk you run, that something may or may not happen when new firmware is released and you update it.

I've stated in this thread many times already that messing with the firmware gives you no gaurantees that it will work once you update. So your car analogy I have no problem with. But you explicitly stated that the iPhone was never intended to be used on a non AT&T network. That is not true. It is meant to run on a GSM network. Apple decided to tie themselves to AT&T when it first launches (for two years). So I'm arguing your point that Apple only intended for the iPhone to be used on AT&T, which technologically is incorrect.
