Won't go anywhere. It is common practice in the cell phone industry. Moto always rolls out new phones with an exclusive deal with a cell phone company. There is no law that states companies can not have exclusive deals nor that electronic items we purchase we are free to connect to anything we want.

So boring. Such a waste of time.

I beg to differ. If it pulls through the damages are at a minimum of $200 million in cold-hard-cash!!

Also, it would be interesting to see how their arguments go against the statutes they have violated under federal law. Oh, and the plaintiff who paid $381 in cash for overseas business with the iphone definitely deserves some sort of compensation. I believe it is ridiculous, and Apple should live in a free / unlocked world rather than monopolizing their phone. Like NOKIA!

On another note, anyone see their shares take a dive this afternoon....yeah...:tounge:
