Now this could drive some innovation think of it sell the hardware and the data plan and let the people chose their phone service, sure VOIP over G3 would be so so at beast but its a start!!!
Now if they would only sale the data plans by the speed in 50KBPS blocks for 25$ a shot........

Apple is such a scam. Great quality hardware and product but to Stalinize their end of the industry by bitching and complaining about jailbreaking their phones is crap!
This is a non-negotiable for all consumers...........We bought your phone...........we do what we want with it. Don't like it???...........PISS OFF APPLE!!!

I could understand if people leased their phones from Apple because Apple would still partially own it, but that's not the case. Apple doesn't own the phones and it's the owner's right to do whatever they want with their own phones.
Imagine if Toyota wouldn't allow people to modify their cars. If anything, the ability to modify a product would help increase their sales.

The lawsuit is only Apple's way of trying to create a monopoly on the applications that can be run. They do not like the idea of other developers coming up with ideas before they can get their applications on the iTunes store for the consumers to buy.

Actually, that is why you sign your contract. You are in effect leasing the phone until your contract is up--then it becomes yours.
They heavily subsidize these phones in exchange for a service contract. Imagine you give an engagement ring to a girl, then she dumps you the next day. Should she keep the ring or at least not pay you for it? This is settled in common law countries and the answer is NO, because it is a conditional gift.
Exact same situation.

I just noticed that after a couple days.............don't know how that happened. I honestly don't do that intentionally. It's annoying and frankly, people don't care enough about MY PARTICULAR comment to pay attention to it twice.
Must've hit browser back and "Post Reply" button twice. My bad.

Heavily subsidize??? That is a lot of crap. I have been involved in contract manufacturing industry for a number of year. Even at the price they are selling you they are making money.
So far as the the ring analogy is concerned what kind of service one should expect!!!!
