If you have a T-Mobile plan, get an Android. Doesn't need to be unlocked since the OS itself is already open source. They go for around ~$100 which isn't too bad, and if you have a plan you can probably pay a fixed amount on the phone per-month during the duration of your contract. _________________

Now if you want a really nice phone, the HD7 is probably app unlocked. As most windows mobile phones are, they do not have an app restriction to begin with granted the app is a .cab installer. It just comes down to if it can handle it, and I am sure it can. Phone is a bit expensive with a 600USD price tag for non upgrade/service plan extension. |

How is it illegal? | Jailbreaking is illegal of course. Its stealing apps and such. On a windows mobile phone, its legal to install any app possible granted you didnt steal some kind of serial key. |

Depends on the company. Some (eg Sony) say it's illegal cause you're modifying their software/hardware (because to them you don't "own" the console, you're just renting it for life.) Iirc though apple doesn't have much of a problem with it. _________________
