I would expect this to be the case. If they can remotely unlock it, they should be able to lock it as well.

  It really depends on what you mean by "should be able". If you mean "I would expect it to be physically possible to implement something like this", then obviously. If you mean "I think manufacturers should design phones in a manner that allows this"... that one is not so obvious to me.

    I wonder if the obvious solution would be a warranty return (if bought in a country/state with reasonable customer protection laws).
