Nobody has to "pay too much for text messages and sign their lives away on lengthy contracts". JUST BUY AN UNLOCKED SMARTPHONE!! Of course, the concept of separating the purchase of a mobile device from a subscription to mobile services, and the freedom associated with such a concept, is totally alien to Americans...

It's the monthly costs that gouge, not the one-time cost of the phone, genius. Unless you're a fool who juggles several unlocked handsets at a time and use them without data services during that brief time, it matters very little over the course of owning the phone whether it is unlocked or not. The number that matters (general consumers) aren't phone junkies in that sense.
Besides, that has nothing to do with why people buy a smartphone. What an uneducated tool.
