Re: FCC to look at exclusive cell phone deals
I look at the iphone like a sports car. You gotta pay to play. If you want one that bad and NO OTHER CARRIER has it than the question is had bad do you want it? Bad enough to change carriers? I mean really would you walk into a chevrolet dealership demanding a cobra? Or just buy a corvette because that's the car company you choose to go with? (Not sure using cars was the best example but you get my point)

Re: FCC to look at exclusive cell phone deals
not true. They wanna make their money back fast they will put it at cost of manufacture plus a bit more and they will sell. Only reason phones more expensive in europe is casue the euro is worth more. and if they really wanna make a profit charge the cell phone companies like a quarter fee per phone they use on their network call it usage fee or something problem solved.

Re: FCC to look at exclusive cell phone deals
ok should a gm have exclusive rights to build the corvette too or should ford be able to build the corvette as well for competition in the market place? Also should auto dealers be able to sell any brand or just what they paid gm or ford or who ever for? I think we should have openess. Ford should also have the right to build the corvette as well as toyota. and Samsung should also be able to build the Blackberry Storm...

But your also right about another thing, AT&T is the one to blame....they were the ones who put the money forward to buy the iPhone exclusively. You think Apple really wanted to be AT&T only? lol, I doubt it....there is alot of money AT&T offered to get that phone That is why I'm so excited about the new CMDA/GSM Dual Phones, like the Firestone. Then all devs can unite to make their phones better, I wish the Rhodium was Dual as well because I would have bought it in a heart beat

Re: FCC to look at exclusive cell phone deals
I don't agree. Reason why is because I think that makes things bland. So your telling me you sit down make up an car or better yet since this is a phone forum a phone from the ground up and its lets say its 4 cell phone carriers here you offer your own phone with your own terms of selling the phone and 3 of the carriers said no but one lone carrier wanted to take a chance on you product and BAM its a hit now everybody wants one now you don't wanna sell it to them now is it right the goverment steps in and make you when you offered them a chance(I believe apple offered the iphone idea to all and only at&t pulled the trigger) I myself think that's unfair. So since windows is the most used OS in the world does that mean ppl who buy mac books should complain they it should be shipped with windows and no OSX? They should have a choice? But aint that's why they bought a macbook? Cause it ran OSX

Re: FCC to look at exclusive cell phone deals
i would be very happy if i could buy a phone directly from the manufacturer. Just tell them what carrier i have pay them have them send it to me call my provider and have it activated (for free or for $5 or less) and be happy. Why is that a bad idea. (if carriers want to offer specific stuff ie. sprint tv etc) they should offer it as a free download on the site.)
