Ugh, carrier contracts. Why do you Americans tolerate these lock-ins? One thing I miss about Europe is that you can just buy the phone you want and take it to the carrier you want.<p>This is why I use MetroPCS. It's not the world's best service and it only works in major cities, but I pay $50/mo for unlimited voice/text and I have no contract. If you want the blackberry I think the unlimited data plan is about $75.
"$199.99 after $100 mail-rebate and 2-year contract"<p>I really hope this Palm Pre does well. I would have higher hopes for it if it didn't have carrier lock-in. We'll see if this Sprint-only deal lasts long or if it goes carrier neutral soon.
I applied to get the SDK when the application page first went up, has anyone been accepted yet? It was my understanding that this wasn't going to be an Apple-style beta, where everything was locked up tight.
Not sure if it just me or not, but anybody noticed the count-down on the right sidebar actually says 46 days? It's May 20 today, and it should be 16 days until June 6, unless someone forgot that JavaScript's month is 0-indexed?
