I am on a regional carrier, Appalachian Wireless (CDMA), and they have expressed to me they have ZERO interest in windows phones. so my option is to either wait for them to change their minds, continue on with Android, or move over to Verizon, which I would not necessarily be against.
My question though is...if I could buy the 822 at full retail, I imagine it is still "locked" to Verizon? I would love to be able to program it to work on my carrier, but they seem reluctant to even try, probably to discourage people from doing it. They claim that the way Verizon locks their phones, it is difficult/impossible to get them working on their network.
Anyone had any luck moving a VZW phone to a regional CDMA carrier and think that maybe it could be possible with the 822? I just don't know enough about it.
