As a consumer I would love phones to be unlocked for all carriers, but I can afford to pay what the phones ACTUALLY cost! Most people do not realize what phones actually cost to purchase and what the carriers purchase them for from the manufacturers. These people suing the carriers are probably the same people that complain about not getting their phones for free. There have been other people suing over this issue and congress members complaining and wanting it changed, but that comes with a cost. you remove ETF's and contracts and phone prices go up, plan prices go up, and overage goes up. somewhere that money has to be made up. Don't get me wrong I think the wireless industry shot itself in the foot by offering everything for free from the start. If you call up comcast and want all HD channels they dont give you a free HD TV to watch them on or a free HD DVD player, so why should you get a free phone cause you want cell phone service?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
