Yeah, and being locked into using Yahoo Search? What’s up with that? I am going to buy a Google OS and use Yahoo search… Just doesn’t fly. Also, some reports seem to indicate that the fact that you can’t install from ‘untrusted sources’ takes away the possibility of backing apps up to SD Card and then reloading them later. If am app is pulled from Market, you are Sorry Out of Luck! Does AT&T think this is an Apple phone?

I was just reading over on TechCrunch how AT&T has locked this down similarly to the iPhone where Apps can only be installed from Android Market.

I bought it and will be returning it promptly as, according to the Motorola support tech I spoke with, it does not have an “allow untrusted sources” (enables web installs) “due to carrier restrictions” Otherwise nice phone, but AT&T screwed it. Returning
