I couldn’t let this screamingly hilarious quote from Cingular exec Glenn Lurie go by without comment…
While “there are bad guys out there that unlock phones,” Lurie said, Apple and Cingular are taking unspecified steps to make the phone more difficult to unlock and use on other GSM carriers in the US.
Bad guys like, oh, Nokia who sell unlocked phones directly. I’m still convinced that in the medium-to-long term Cingular will end up being the overall loser.
