Re: Can't disagree

So, you support exclusivity agreements for GSM only? How can you say Apple should be allowed to make a GSM exclusive phone, but CDMA carriers can't also keep that exclusivity by locking the phone to their network? I don't see the difference there.

If you were talking about a boatload of work to make a phone GSM or CDMA, then I might be inclined to agree. However, the expense to make a phone GSM or CDMA isn't that great.

I honestly feel arguments like this (thank god) will be moot once the LTE migration is finished.

Easy because CDMA phones can work on ANY CDMA Network (ie: VZW, Sprint, Cricket/Revol/MetroPCS) although CDMA carriers do NOT allow you to bring a phone to them. Even though ANY CDMA phone WILL work. But these carriers do not want this to happen.

iPhone is different due to its GSM, and if you jail break it, it will work on T-Mobile or any other GSM carrier.
