Re: Go for it I was thinking they will subsidize pretty heavy and make money off some built in ads.
Also wondering what platform they go after. Seems AT&T would be the one to get on since they haven't joined the party.

You think people go there for the network? Haha!

Our carriers hate this as they don't want people to be able to walk from their service to the competition without having to get new phones.

Although that would be interesting, there is very little chance that will happen. That would mean the device would need to support all variations of GSM and CDMA which just isnt likely. Also keep in mind that CDMA phones need to be technically "assured" before you can activate them on Verizon or Sprint (sometimes you can get away with it on Sprint). Based on that, all signs point to this basically being an unlocked GSM phone. Still cool, however I doubt it will be the "game changer" some people think.
