That's a smart move, to decrease grey market imports.

Very dumb stipulation. I've never heard of this restriction on other SIM-Free phones...so why now? Let people buy and use their phones wherever they want without forcing them to take special steps to use the phone. All this is going to do is frustrate buyers.

Sounds fair, also a little annoying if you don't know.
