[nabs-l] Cell phone question

[Bill]

First, jailbreaking is a different process then unlocking. Second,
purchasing the phone in an unlocked condition is not a violation of the
DMCA.  AT&T will also sell you an unlocked version of the phone for the full
value of the device. The last one may not be true any more. What David says
about the iPhone on VZW is true. The phone is incapable of working on
verizon due to the cell technology it is based on. The only way is if Apple
decides to produce a iPhone based on the other technology. As for verizon
phones, I would not recommend anything based on the talks screen reader. It
is only on version 1 and is super buggy. I was tempted to get one of the LG
phones but the screen reader on those does not read the calendering
application.
