Re: Yay
Except in Europe you can take your device with you in most cases to another carrier. This is not the case with US CDMA carriers. They have an agreement amongst themselves to not activate devices obtained from another carriers network.
So the "Open" clase really means nothing. You have to go through the carriers vetting process before they will allow the device to enter their hallowed database tables.
In Europe and among US GSM carriers all you need to do is pop in an active SIM card and you are ready to rock regardless if the carrier has ever heard of the device before.
I will never say a CDMA carrier is "Open" until I can activate ANY device on their network without any approval or vetting from them. |
