The Phone you want on the network you want

So, I saw a Verizon Wireless commercial on TV last night. I don't remember the exact wording but it was something like this, "The phone you want on the network you want." I don't remember which phone was advertised, but I believe it was for the iPhone.

So, Verizon which is it, the phone I want or the phone you want to carry? I want a next generation Windows Phone device. Give us more selection so that we don't have to move to another network.

So what is the truth here, the phone I want or the phone you want to offer .................................................

I wish the US was more like Europe where you can buy just about any phone you want and just insert your SIM card and off you go. Today we are at the mercy of the carriers on the selection of phones we can use and if they decide to cripple feature that would steal revenue from them.

There's not much I like about Europe, but having a single standard for the carriers and we can pick any phone which can be used on any network is so very nice.

Find the right politicians... Also force the FCC to stop being so money hungry, and it may very well happen.

That's not the problem.

For example, there're CDMA Nokia Lumia 800 in China, but I doubt that Verizon will allow phones it doesn't have in its ESN database to work on its network.

I don't think government is the answer - they're usually the problem. (You mentioned FCC....) The consumers are the answer.
