And you really think this matters to users of phones which band the phone is currently using? T-Mobile is definitely nothing else as proprietary. How does that fit?

If you are this religious about this topic you should build up your own free gsm network.

On the other hand this is really great to see the GTA04 in one list with Apple and Samsung. *scnr*
