What happened to daring to be different? What happened to having options? What happened to creativity?

Because I'm much more likely to lose/forget a username and password and going through the hassle of getting a hold of the carrier, proving who I am, and recovering said info is a bitch. I'd prefer to not go through that over and over. I buy my phone out right with no part of the carrier. They have no need to be a part of me switching phones.

Also a decent chunk of carriers outside of America only support physical sim cards so in alot of countries this phone would be useless.
