Oh, and the court decision will just make the cell companies charge you true retail price for the phones ($299-$699 per phone) instead of making it part of your plan. My carrier doesn't offer the phone I use (TREO 650), but the service is compatible. I will be replacing it with a TREO 680 shortly, but will be buying an unlocked one directly from Palm...$399, vs. $199 for a Cingular unit with a 2 yr commitment.

And most carriers will give you the unlock code, if you are a good customer. If you quit early, you will still be billed for the cost of the phone in the early termination fee.
