If it's anything like Sony with the PSP, then it fixes all the holes that
hackers have found to get around Softbank's blocks. I wonder if it might
even replace the password for network access, as that was pretty quickly
out there. A new password would certainly mean non-patched phones would
cease to be able to access the packet network. It's a different access
point to Yahoo Mobile so it would only mean a change for these phones.
Wonder what happens when people go in with their flashed handsets? Softbank
tells 'em to get lost? Or re-flashes them?!
