Comment You get what you pay for (Score 1) 349
No offense to everyone complaining but you get what you pay for. Of course the phone companies are going to restrict a phone they have to service that way it makes it easier for customer service etc.
I have tMobile and have not had problems with third party apps going against my phone. Of course I paid a little extra money and received an unlock phone. That way I can do what I want to the phone. The only time I call customer service is if I'm not getting data, not getting calls, or not getting txt messages. If one of my apps is not working, or I can't get my ringtones I create myself to install its all on me.
I am surprised by the number of "geeks" here who apparently but a tied down phone yet will look long and hard for an OS or software that will allow them to do what they please with it. I did that with my phone. I found a place that sold unlocked phones for about twice as much as it costs for me to get a "locked" phone.
Why not research and see what you can find before complaining.
