January 7, 2011. I know this date by heart because that is the day my “contract” with Sprint expires. I’ve had an iPod Touch for almost a year now and I love it. Love. It. I’m a writer and I use it to make notes and email them to my main account. I use Google Earth to map my locations, Safari to find information, and apps that sync my docs to I can take my manuscript with me and write on the road…that is until I leave the wifi zone in my house. Then…I got nothin.

The Sprint Instinct I got, thinking it was rival of the iPhone? Sad. Pathetic and sad. I want an iPhone, then I wont have to look for wifi spots and walk around with a phone and an ipod in my pocket. And unless Sprint starts selling them? I’m out. And I’ve been with Sprint for over 10 years.

January 7, 2011.

I have been waiting patiently for iPhone to be avail thru Verizon for a long time now. Hmmm, 2010 doesnt sound so far away now. However, if Apple doesnt open up to other carriers, will hate it but will have to go with alternatives.

Of course it would be great if the iPhone would be available on any carrier just like it would be great if the Palm Pre or Google Android G1 were available on any carrier. This sounds like a bunch of sour grapes from Verizon subscribers that they only have the Blackberry Storm and Windows to choose from.

Believe it or not, there’s a pretty large number of people (like me, of course) who live in an area with only one or a few carriers. In my case, Verizon is it. Please, Apple, please. Let anyone carry your device.

I really hope there are more carriers too. AT&T is the only option here and I don’t want to switch carriers.

Five years from now AT&T, Verizon & T-mobile will all be on LTE. Making the phones compatible for multiple networks is a short-term problem.

We need to lay the groundwork today for unlocked phones (and new service plans that make it more desirable for consumers to use unlocked phones) so we can take advantage of the compatible networks when they arrive.

“I’d have an iPhone by now if Verizon would’ve signed an exclusive deal with Apple instead of AT&T.”

Me too. I despise Verizon, but I’m not the decision maker on household expenses in my house, so I can’t drop them.

Welcome to the hotel of locked phones. I hope you enjoy your stay in your room – because you can’t leave. At all. And don’t bother calling for help because we won’t help you either.
~~~
The iphone and all other locked phones really should be unlocked. I understand that the iphone is the most important phone out of all of them, but really, UNLOCK THEM ALL!!! (you hear me at&t, verizon, sprint, and t-mobile?)
