Back in the "day" as in about 7 years ago I ran an online unlocked cell phone business.. at collierbing.com and did pretty well for a little guy, ended up selling and the folks ran it nowhere.. Fast forward to today and even Dell is selling unlocked phones, Amazon is full of them, and many others. I think its AMAZING the growth in the unlocked market.. Prices are still astronomical for unlocked phones but hopefully with more demand those will come down too.. My Rant Todd I think the unlocked market has expanded like mad..
