New Here the issue is not necessarily legal
though "locked" phones are allowed. The problem between T-Mobile and the rest is tech. Verizon is CDMA and T_Mobile is GSM.

New Ah, OK, I'd forgotten that.
Still doesn't change the fact that the wole bundling of "free" phones with service contracts is product tying, and should be just as illegal in the telecoms industry as it is in others. Finnish fucking law went from a more enlightened position to a LESS enlightened one. :-(
