If you are relying on an unlock to use your phone why on earth would you jump the gun on upgrading the firmware?
If you are unlocked I thought it was assumed you say bye bye to new updates until MUCH later when they are confirmed working for jail broken users.
That's the price you pay for being unlocked. It sucks, but it's how it is. I know, I used my 3GS with T-Mobile and when I got sick of the drawbacks I went legit.
Maybe it's time to upgrade to 4S on a properly supported carrier?
