Apple iPhone Prisoners of Company Agreements
According to this BBC article, the Iphone updates are creating a problem for iPhone owners.
I can see having your phone locked into a service provider if you get the phone for a sharp discount but if you are paying full price for a phone, you really should get to use it wherever you want. Apple has always been very possessive of its products and that is one reason that is just will not dominate the market for long in any category.
Let those iApple phone owners use their phones wherever they want. Don't sabotage their phones. They bought the phone and own it... What is apple going to do, have ATT as the service provider for three months and then offer it to all service providers, once again messing with the innovators who make the product popular.
Ask Diamler benz what happened to their sales when they joined forces with Chrysler. They had a great Mercedes brand and then mucked it up. Now Diamler is having to win back clients who left because they were not provided with the service and quality they expected.
Don't mess with your brand.
btw, I was told that Levis is coming out with a phone. Now that is a very strange brand extension. I would not think that a jeans company should go into technology. They are not licensing their name.. they are actually creating a phone.
Lets see what other brands decide to create a phone.... Wal Mart phones with coupons delivered by sms or how about Penthouse phones... all the pornographic material already loaded onto the device.
Ok. It is Saturday, I am done talking about phones, time to go to the pool.
