I have read on HoFo that someone has used their open handset initiative to get their sprint touch diamond on verizon. Also, there is little they can do to ban sprint CDMA phones from operating on their network. Anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that people can take their sprint phones and activate them on Verzion's network now without submitting them for qual testing at VZW.
Also, in the scheme of things does it really matter? How many people are buying handsets without the contract subsidies anyway? I am looking forward to being able to take a nice phone with me from verizon to ATT or vice versa but is it that big a deal?
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
