Well put, very well put!
It is possible but like already stated, they check esn #'s.
You have to do some major hacking to change items on the phone.
It's been controversial as to whether this is illegal or not, and this particular topic is not allowed on PPCGeeks/XDA/MobileUnderground and a handful of other mobile sites aswell.
The general consensus is that it is infact illegal (although you could argue this, but it could be used for illegal purposes which is why it is outlawed on many sites).

It would be nice, but then people are more likely to steal phones and use them on their network. I think alot of networks are trying to lock em down for that fact, among many others such as profit, making sure the phones are 100% compatible with their networks, less phones for the tech's to know and be able to problem solve for. Which all around tends to bring them more revenue since people have less problems and whatever problems they do have (usually) the techs can help the customer out and fix the problem.
It makes full sense for companies to do this (to me atleast).
