Well, if Sprint has to do it then I'm sure they will see to it the other carriers using the same access technology have to do it. Equal treatment under the law and all that. Quite frankly I never understood some of the bizarre restrictions in place by the big carriers. The money is obviously in the service not the phones themselves so why not get out of the hardware aspect of the businesss altogether? The handsets can be produced cheaply, they don't hold value, and they are constantly changing. The market at some point was bound to catch up and make the system of proprietary handsets for each carrier un-sustainable. Is it too soon you think to start the merger rumor mongering? It is inevitable you know. I am looking forward to using any phone I want on the new VeriZprint network!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
