iPhone OS 3.0 GM has SIM-locked my iPhone

Darn it. I have previously paid Vodafone to have my iPhone unlocked, so I was able to use non Vodafone SIM cards in it. However, I have just installed the developer only release of iPhone OS 3.0 gold master and now I can only use Vodafone SIM cards in it. My Telstra and Three SIM cards yield no signal on the iphone, and the following message in iTunes:

iPhone OS 3.0 GM has SIM locked my iPhone

iPhone OS 3.0 GM has SIM locked my iPhone

Hurrumh! 3.0 locked my iphone!

I wonder if this is because Apple’s activation servers aren’t yet prepped for OS 3.0 activation and unlocking. I am hoping this is the case, and that when the public release of 3.0 comes out on Wednesday June 17 my iPhone gets unlocked again.

We’re heading off the day after for far north Queensland where there is only Telstra Next-G coverage, so I’m trying not to bite my nails.
