Well so far what I am seeing, actually hearing, is an old ugly and unpleasant song:

"But it won't ship to users until early February, once the carriers sign off on it. "

Gone are the days when MS was announcing "straight and direct updates" with no intereferences.........

The carriers would never allow that, they need to remove some features so they can sell you added services. Look at Android and how some carriers put their stink all over it, I expect them to do no less for WP7.

The only thing the carriers can do is block the update notifications for one cycle only, they cannot change/add anything to them as they come direct from Microsoft through the Zune software.
