as for the whole 'make the carrier do it' thing. I seem to recall that somewhere buried deep in the various laws it says that once you have completed the initial contract period for your device the carrier has to unlock it if you ask. don't know what that means if you cut the contract early. or even if the law is still valid, but once upon a time I wanted to change carriers and it came up (I'm talking like 5 years ago).

and if folks really want to have a choice, move to make carrier locking illegal like they did in France etc. there when you buy a phone, even an iphone, it comes unlocked and you can use it with whomever you like. of course then the price is likely to go up cause you'll probably have to buy the phone at full price ( and probably in the case if the iphone only at apple like the first go around). and who knows what if any incentives you might get if any]]>Nov 7th 2008 3:44PM
