Really? Where do I get a non-carrier branded non tied down Nokia that
will work in Japan? Where is this "choice" of which you speak? (I am
genuinely interested - a URL/phone number for such a beast would be
fallen on with delight by several list members, I assure you...)
I have a 702NK Voda handset - and it is tied down fairly hard...

Well so far they haven't had a choice. If you want a phone, you have
to have a tied down phone. So how can you attribute their having tied
down phones to being a result of a PREFERENCE for tied down phones?
