  1. While Steve is brilliant, I’ve overlooked his democratic (political) obsession, which is fine, I like to question authority. The republicans give us plenty to complain about, but the economic progress they’ve made, whether on purpose or accident, is undeniable. But it is funny how the democrats will turn on their own at any opportunity, even during a meeting not pertaining to this topic.

  2. When you pay full retail price for the phone obviously you should be able to pick your own carrier. Naturally we all made the decision to buy the iPhone and go with AT&T but if the phone is unlocked before my 30 day trial is up I will dump at&t like a hot potato! This bodes well for unlocking the phone, as is perfectly legal in the U.S, as congress may get onto Apple if they re-lock it, or even attempt to for that matter. Strange how Apple’s party of choice may be the ones to bite it in the ass! haha…

  3. This is total BS. Was the RAZR not sold through an exclusive
    agreement with one provider when it was released? Someone in the phone industry has friends in high places. Crying Democrat bitches! Jealous of Apples success no doubt.

  4. Because they have apparently solved all other problems.

    While they are at it why don’t they start scrutinizing other exclusive deals, like NFL has with DirecTV regarding Sunday Ticket exclusivity.

    What probably happened is some Dem’s whiny ass kid couldnt get out of his or her contract to buy an iPhone and daddy had to run to the floor of Congress and demand an investigation.

  5. <<Comment from: schmluss
    Does it really matter that MDN quoted Ronald Reagan? The quote is true no matter who said it.>>

    Well yes it does, if those quoted do not practice what they preach makes the words kind of empty and truth-less, no?
