Same here, via T-Mobile in the Netherlands. Same error message, no way to get update in, with the same error message. Given the ridiculously bad 2G/3G reception in the part of Amsterdam ⚠ where I live, I was hoping these new carrier settings would up the transmitter volume of the iPhone, since I think the T-Mobile coverage is weaker than they promised. Oh, and by the way, since 2.01 I have no 2G or 3G reception at all. Way to go.

OK this is so weird... so I done the update all ok

BUT then... I get the Carrier Update Settings box EVERY TIME I plug in to iTunes now...

I hit cancel, and my connection to Optus comes back to life, and the Syncing of content through iTunes continues as normal.

I'm worried to hit Update, in case it resets the lock back to the original settings of locked to Vodafone...?

I'm still receiving the error too, but it's not impacting anything as far as I'm aware. I've resolved to sit tight and ignore the issue for now.

I'm confident that this problem will be resolved (and without wrecking the unlock). That being said, I don't think anyone appreciates being kept in the dark. Again it would be helpful if someone from Apple or Optus would signal ack on this problem. A KB Article would also be handy, even if it simply provided a high level explanation and advised patience.
