Provided that remains true in the future, then we have no problems.

Fair comment, if the user genuinely understands what's going on (which is often not the case when carriers cripple a product).

I would really like to see Nokia require carriers to use a different model number (or at least a suffix) when they provide a device with different functionality compared to the device provided directly by Nokia. At the moment, some carriers do this anyway, and some don't.
