Or do just what Apple did and insist on using UMTS tri-band (which makes it work with all 3G GSM carriers in the world), no carrier branding.Originally Posted by Menace187
Yes, True. I'm going to make an example of what i consider a smart company. I'm in the heating and ac field and familiar with a furnace manufacture called Trane. And what they do for their blower motor modules is they make them all the same, and at first they are all dumb until they get put in to a furnace and a certain ROM gets loaded in to them with all the parameters of that particular model. One module will work on all of their furnaces and the same steps goes in to their newer circuit boards. The point is why worry about extra inventory from any particular carrier when all they really have to do is make 2 types of dumb pre's, a GSM and CDMA. And depending on how many carriers are requesting, then take them dumb pre's out, load up a Rom, and etch the logo on what was a blank mirror.
One version around the world, can ship stock anywhere. Palm should have done this and they can easily deploy stock anytime anywhere. Heck we would probably have unlocked versions by now.
