Well, thats the way it works, it's designed that way, or so I am told...I have questioned this myself many a time.....This is what will kill Android for the masses and be left to the geeks to play with...too bad really..What is the sense in getting a smart phone with an open OS that someone else decides what you get to do? My carrier does not even allow unlocked phones on their network..
