tmobile android lockdown

[raptormn]

how locked down to you think android will be on t-mobile? i dont see android being open like the sdk is. who do you think will offer the most open version of android?

If you read the specifics of Android and Google's philosophy... part of the OHA states that the hardware and network must be 100% open.

My best guess would be a release of a new "Android" plan that will be 100% required to use the phone (similar to the Instinct) for about $100-$120 a month which is something I fully agree should be required to utilize every feature of the Android platform.

i'll decline if they attempt to charge me $100+ a month for any phone.
