fta:

       but their hypocrisy is painfully clear when you
       remember that these apps work fine on T-Mobile's
       network, using T-Mobile SIM cards, if you buy your
       phone directly from a manufacturer like
       NokiaUSA.com [or fic ;)].

caveat emptor -- don't buy your phone from t-mobile

hurray for openmoko!

It appears that T-Mobile has just started banning third-party

Grumble.  Before this they seemed to have the best GSM deal in this
part of the world (San Francisco Bay Area, USA).

    "This means T-Mobile feature phone users are prohibited from
    surfing the Web with Opera Mini, checking maps on Google Local for
    Mobile, listening to podcasts with Mobilcast, and using any other
    form of software not pre-approved by T-Mobile."

I wonder how they'll react to an open phone where code like this comes
as a "factory option".
