[citation][nom]g-thor[/nom]When is a phone manufacturer going to go straight to the market with a phone, instead of tying it to a service provider? If someone builds a great phone (I'm not saying this is one - just in general) then let me choose my provider. Stop putting useless leashes on them that need to be hacked.Thanks for letting me rant.[/citation]
Although I like your thinking, this would also mean you have to buy the phone full price instead of heavily subsidized when you get a contract with it. I kind of liked paying only $50 after rebate for my Storm instead of the full $500
