Maybe I've been exceptionally lucky with AT&T but my previous phone (Samsung A707) was pretty open. No features were locked or restricted. I could download any 3rd party apps I wanted, install any ringtones and so on. Bluetooth sync and file transfer worked out the box, no special software or carrier-supplied programs. Needing 3rd party uploaders to get past restrictions is unacceptable, hence my frustration with the iPhone- but that's a problem with Apple, not AT&T. There's not even an AT&T logo to be seen on the iPhone.

iPhone = Form over function

 

But how did you know that I take crazy pills???

 

Well as long as the current status quo from AT&T and Apple is maintained i'm inclined to agree with you.

 

However, the iPhone has the potential to be the most amazing thing since, well, anything.

May I also add that the VZW and AT&T SmartPhones with Windows Mobile 6 are virtually unlocked?

I'll take a locked iPhone over a Windows mobile phone any day.

 

Just because Apple's being a bunch of pricks doesn't change the fact that they'll get them unlocked again and everybody'll be happy. Should you have to keep unlocking it? No. But it is what it is.
