US Cellular, by the way, doesn't exactly fit into the category of "500,000 or fewer subscribers" considering they have approximately 6.5 million customers and are the 5th largest carrier in the United States, just behind T-Mobile (regardless of the fact that they're a regional carrier).  It also can't be forgotten that US Cellular is a pretty big deal in the Midwest and parts of rural America where they mainly operate.  By the way, in case you can't tell, I'm a US Cellular subscriber and I'm stuck on their network for a while and, well, I like modern phones.  But, regardless, it's good that US Cellular, Metro PCS, and Cricket, as well as the other little guys will be getting better phones sooner in the future.  End rant.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cody]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 17th 2009 10:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon cutting all device exclusivity to six months for small carriers]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/17/verizon-cutting-all-device-exclusivity-to-six-months-for-small-c/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/17/verizon-cutting-all-device-exclusivity-to-six-months-for-small-c/</guid><description><![CDATA[VzW -- the Carrier you Hate to Love.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Okeif]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 17th 2009 2:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon cutting all device exclusivity to six months for small carriers]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/17/verizon-cutting-all-device-exclusivity-to-six-months-for-small-c/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/17/verizon-cutting-all-device-exclusivity-to-six-months-for-small-c/</guid><description><![CDATA[It is a step in the right direction. but it should be implemented for all cellular companies.
