I know most of the readers of Symbian-Guru.com are well attuned to the idea and process of how to purchase an unlocked handset. However, there’s a vast majority of consumers around the globe that simply have no idea what an unlocked handset IS, much less how to go about buying one.
I found this article on InformationWeek a while back and have been intending to share it for a while. It’s a solid article on the merits of purchasing an unlocked handset, as well as the process and things to look out for. The post is 4 pages long, but it’s well worth the read, regardless of whether you ONLY buy unlocked handsets, or if you haven’t a clue what that even means.
If you have any friends who can’t comprehend why you don’t just settle for whatever garbage your carrier pushes on you, this is the article to email them.
