Great news for all users of officially unlocked iPhones (France/Germany). I previously reported that firmware 1.1.3 would refuse to allow you to use a different SIM card without first syncing it with iTunes. I felt at the time this must have been a bug as 1.1.2 did not have this issue.
I am glad to report that 1.1.4 has fixed this bug, and now one can change SIM cards in officially unlocked iPhones without re-syncing with iTunes.
