Unlocked is the Future

Very eloquently put by VC Fred Wilson:

Unlocked phones are the wave of the future. I don’t want my carrier and my phone connected in any way. Carrier is dial tone. Phone is functionlity. That’s the way it should be and will be some day

…and a big nod to Cesium’s business model which I still believe is rock-solid. I hope he bought his Curve from PureMobile ;)

T-mobile in US unlocks its phones, you have to ask them to do it.

If I remember correctly, you need to have an active account with them for 90 days before being able to get an unlock code. However, the beauty of unlocked is the freedom of choice it gives you (e.g. if you want a phone that is not part of T-Mobile’s portfolio).
