Orange and Vodafone cripple Nokia's flagship

TDJP

What's the difference...

You could go to one of the Telcos, get a Windows Mobile Smartphone/PDA (like the O2 XDA, which has WiFi) install any VOIP app you want then connect to a hotspot or your home network and make free calls. The N95 should be no different. If you got a Smartphone/PDA from Orange or Voda you would expect this to be available as it is a standard feature of that particular phone. If they disabled WiFi what would you say?

These companies already make plenty of money from us with monthly subscriptions and pathetic charges for data usage through dodgy 3G connections so why should we not be allowed to do with our phones as we will? The cost of an unsubsidised phone may be £300-400 to us but you can bet that they pay nothing like that to the manufacturers.

They still turn massive profits for their shareholders despite supposedly losing money on handsets.

Orange and Voda are being greedy, dishonest and pathetic, they'll never get me as a customer.
