New wiki page - Problems of typical "closed" phones

[Schmidt András]

Sorry, I have updated that.

AFAIK:
Here (in Hungary) it is illegal to unlock your phone. Certainly you can 
buy unlocked phone for a higher price, but unlocking already locked ones 
(by "experts") is illegal. There are many people earning their money 
from this illegal activity though...
