Re: Why Verizon Crippled the Touch Pro

Didn't verizon announce a few months back that they'd activate other carrier's ESN's? I thought I read that here 5-6 months ago...


As for Verizon crippling the touch pro in order to avoid you guys benefitting from the work from this community, that doesn't make much sense for me. If you can take a sprint rom update, and mod it to make your verizon phone better, that saves verizon on R&D costs.. It seems like they'd be more than happy to defer those costs to sprint, then wait a couple weeks till someone like DCD "fixes" the sprint Rom for Verizon, then take that rom for their own testing/R&D work to bypass a lot of the work of fixing errors themselves.

Verizon still hasn't even announced this phone, to my knowledge, and I'm VERY skeptical that they'd release a phone so flagrantly inferior to the one offered by their direct competition... especially since they're the "same" phone, and Verizon can't argue that they're aimed at different market segments..
