Re: Handset exclusivity not that big a deal Are we going to legislate that Apple be FORCED to make a CDMA iPhone also? Even if Apple didn't have an exclusivity agreement with ATT, it still wouldn't work on Verizon or Sprint. |

The bad part is... a lot of people don't realize this. Because they look at a cellphone as a cellphone.

Apple would have to decide whether or not to chase those customers with a CDMA iPhone. The decision would be theirs, they wouldn't have to ask for permission or make/break any deals.

I was just wondering... I bought an iphone, brought to the Philippines, got a technician to unlock it, bought different service provider SIM card and got it working!
Seems that back there, they have a way to "openline" the cellphone so that you can use it to whoever service provider you choose. You just need to purchase a pre-paid sim card. If that is legally possible there, then why can't we do it here? |
