So you guys would rather continuously pay through the nose in the way of phone bills, instead of just once when you buy the phone?
I prefer cheap calls and free competition between phone salesmen. It's not like any phone gets sold at RRP for more than a few months around here. They're all quite quickly discounted to close to the wholesale price.
Also: no operator crippled phones. If the feature is listed on the vendor's site, it will be available in the menus.
