Alltel TP supported by VZW but not Sprint TP with VZW firmware?
Funny that VZW acquires Alltel, a wireless company with compatible CDMA standards and equipment, including the HTC (RAPH800, right?) Touch Pro which they support. But they can't support the Sprint Touch Pro with flashed VZW operating firmware?
Anyone else thinks that the FCC and particularly the FTC might be interested in VZW attempt to wiggle into a cave concerning their Open Device Initiave announced in November of 2007? If documented correctly, VZW could be compelled by either Commission to anser some very sticky questions about monopolistic behavior and restraint of access to a government licensed provider.
Look at it this way, the highway contractor or even toll road operator cannot tell you which cars to drive on their highway, only that they must meet legal requirements designed by public (not private!) authorities. the wireless carriers are in the same boat, and if each of us were to puch by registering a complaint, they would open up via Commision requirements.
VZW just lost a 21 year and a 16 year customer over their ignorant arrogance.
