T-mobile is really making a push to avoid any third party applications, ie java applications on their products. Verizon anyone???

Looks like not all is going well in the land of T-Mobile. The company has changed its policies and have told customers with Java-enabled phones (read: almost every handset) and data plans that they’re not allowed to install third-party network applications. Why the harsh change in policy? T-Mobile claims security issues but we all know it’s a load of crap designed to prevent independent phone sales. With this ban in place, this means no Opera Mini, no Google Local, no full version of Gemdrop, no nothing.
From now on if you want anything installed on your phone, you’ll have to go through the hellish T-Zones interface to pay for overpriced applications and games. If T-Mobile wants to stay in the game and not lose out to Cingular even more, it better start changing its policies back to normal post haste.


T-Mobile Not Cool With Your Downloaded Apps

Link doesn't work for me

The link woks for me Nwahs. As far as TMobiles new policy, I think we all knew that it was just a matter of time before this happened. Look for Cingular to be next to jump on the band wagon.

Not quite "Verizon"

at least you have full BT, OEM UI, and SIM Cards

let's remember, the CDMA world is much,much worse!

this all started out over a year ago with the t series phones which made me made coming from sprint to tmo to get the t809 i had to buy unbranded phones to get my apps to work
but it doesn't bother me much i am back and happy with sprint :)

I wonder how much longer the T-Mobile Motorolas will work with third party apps? Perhaps they are unable to get the Motos locked down, or else they would have already done so.
