in response to reader comment: Freedom of choice ??

Submitted by Massiel, Sep 3, 2007 13:19

I have to say that i totally disagree, and in my case I can't have an IPhone, even though I'd love to, as in my country there is no AT&T. Here's the thing, you want an IPhone? Then the way is to get it under the AT&T contract. If you're not willing to get the contract, it means you are not willing to get the Phone; It's just as if you agree on buying and driving a car you must do it by the terms of the traffic law, and if you don't like or want the law, then simply you just cannot buy the car!! As simple as that.

We should be civilized, and work things our way more intelligently. Dont buy the phone!!!! sooner than later (done like this and not by cracking the security of the phone) Apple will start missing the bucks they've lost and the phone will come from them open to any service provider. I say LETS DO A STRIKE by not buying any IPhones until they voluntarily give us freedom of choice.
