But what does that actually mean, “only t-mobile can sell the device”? Except for the iphone, I don’t think I’ve ever heard ablut a mobile phone that you could not buy from a third party, without a subscription if you were willing to pay the full price for it.

After all, that’s how I usually buy my phones.

You pay for the device, not the OS. And only T-mobile can sell the device which just happens to have the OS.

So that makes the OS open, but the device closed.

“exclusively”? Isn’t the dream supposed to be an open phone?

Then again… The iphone is “exclusive” to SingTel in Singapore, but the phones are actually unlocked when you buy them there…

Time will tell, I suppose.
