Apple this past week started selling factory unlocked iPhone 4′s in the U.S. Though Apple has sold contract-free iPhones in the U.S before, they were still locked to AT&T.

The first Windows Phones came out in October and we personally haven’t seen many devices since then. According to a recent sales figure from Gartner, the phones haven’t sold very well at all (which isn’t a surprise) although many surveys show that, out of the relatively few people who actually own Windows Phone devices, they love them. The slow pace [...]
