In the UK, I'm sure I've seen adverts from ISP's offering free laptops when you sign up to a contract with them. So what's the difference?
Buy a full priced computer and be able to switch ISP's easily or a free or subsidised computer tied to a time based contract.
I'm sure you can use any phone on any network if the hardware is compatible and you have the right settings. An example is Orange UK who test mobile phones on their network thouroughly, yet I have used mobile phones not approved by them on their network and others. So yes the networks can dictate what they sell to the consumer, but you can still use a non sanctioned phone on their networks if you know the correct settings and it is hardware compatible.
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!"
