My immediate response when I saw this thread was "to heck with King Bill's phone, I want a carrier free Google" Just think what a Skype-like device, independent of carrier baggage, would be. I get so tired of carrier anal retentive control, I'd sell out to Google for that. In fact, I secretly (well, not so secretly, pretty vocally a year ago) Posted on every site I could that Apple should "go it alone" and just make a world phone that you could connect to whatever carrier you wanted (like HTC devices) and break the back of carrier control. Unfortunately, their concept of visual voice mail and Safari site rendering depends a lot upon backoffice hardware so they are stuck with AT&T - and then end up with 2.5G no less.
