Locked Phones

Personally, I make it a priority to get all of my GSM phones unlocked as I use SIM's from different countries. However, from observing friends and co-workers, I find that the majority of people consider the phone a throwaway device that is changed when they change carriers. Despite the fact that an unlocked 2G GSM phone will work with both AT&T and T-Mobile, switching from one carrier to another usually involves getting a new phone anyhow so why bother getting it unlocked?

Also, most people WANT a new phone after 2 years in order to get all the latest hardware & software features that keep coming out non-stop. So for most U.S. users this is pretty much a non-issue.

Same. I even got a better signal after unlocking, believe it or not. Plus I hated that AT&T had every other freaking button assigned to connect to the Internet.
