Our cell phone market sucks.

Would you folks pay full price for a phone to get true freedom of choice and no carrier controlled apps and features?

Agreed, back in 07 I lived in Japan for six months. The cell phone I got was just the run of the mill phone, on one of the cheapest plans. I paid something like $23 a month for basically unlimited calling, texting, and e-mailing. The crazy thing... when I came back to the states.... there were hardly any phones that had the same features as the phone I had.

US customers get shafted on cell phones & plans... Oh... other than cell phones... everything electronics was MUCH MORE expensive in japan than in the US. So don't even try to point out "its made there, so its cheaper".


on a side note... you people know that you can pick up basically any phone and use it on verizons network... Buddy of mine is a real estate agent and for the longest time used TRIO phones... but got so fed up with them he went out and bought an Iphone...works perfectly fine on the verizon network. Sure it may cost a bit more, but if you are willing to pay for it... you can have it.
