Yes, I could have (and I know people who did) import one and hack it, but I think that is a mug's game and one many people wouldn't be prepared (or even able) to play. I bought an iPod Touch on launch day - before it was even available for delivery. I expect to do the same with iPhone2 (or some variation of iPhone) if it is compatible with my preferred carrier (highly likely) and at a reasonable price (which is actually quite high for me).

Such as some kind of on screen branding, bundled apps, etc? That would be a bit of blow to the "it just works" enviroment created by Apple.
