Re: Going back to networks... said by GlobalMind:Being one who's at the point of looking for a new device it really stinks to have to choose a network vendor I don't like just because they've got exclusive on the device I want, and that we've got such a screwed up system here that all the mobile carriers aren't using the same technology. What a lot of people forget is this.. Void of an exclusive agreement, there's nothing stopping apple from simply not making the device available to other networks.. would they do that with out an agreement? POSSIBLY! They'd have to develop a new phone for each carrier which costs money... apple also like their stuff to work a certain way and places high requirements on providers..
So even outside an exclusive contract with American Thieves & Thugs, there's still no guarantee that they'd have their phone available ont he CDMA carriers like Sprint and Verizon. |

The issue is the carriers, not Apple per se.
