Argh, I wonder if the distribution channels will have unlocked MeeGo phones when they're available in the US and the subsidized market which here in the states is how the vast majority of consumers get their phones will only have the WP7 version. I won't have an issue with this strategy if we the consumer have the option. But if Elop gets facist on the consumer it will definitely alienate the loyal Nokia followers that have somehow barely hung in there.

Choices is what drives markets, not sandboxing people into an option they do not want.
