Ok, hands up for everyone who didn't see this coming. Want another one I'd put money on? Anyone who thinks they're getting some hippie OS on a phone they can use to screw with a carrier is in for a rude awakening. Carriers do NOT like being screwed with. Any carrier. That's why they generally go to great lengths to lock or disable features. Android will amount to a marketting gimmick to those who want something better than a free Nokia but either can't afford or think they're too good for a real smartphone. Of course, if Google takes much longer pinching this one off, it might be more of a case of "what if they gave an OS and nobody came?"</p> </div>
