T-Mobile To Users: No Third Party Apps For You
Mar-01-2007
"Testing some T-Mobile phones recently, I once again ran into T-Mobile's annoying policy of banning third-party applications from accessing the Internet on their phones. Like so many infringements on our liberties, this started stealthily with a few devices but now covers their entire product line. This means T-Mobile feature phone users are prohibited from surfing the Web with Opera Mini, checking maps on Google Local for Mobile, listening to podcasts with Mobilcast, and using any other form of software not pre-approved by T-Mobile."

T-Mobile, in an attempt to make as much money as possible... err... to secure the user experience, has decided to not allow third-party Java Microapps on phones that otherwise would support them. While it's a stretch to see this extend to Pocket PC phones or MS Smartphones, it is not a good sign to see. The poster on GearLog mentions that T-Mobile seems to be violating their motto of "Get More" with this action, although I'd remind him that T-Mo's new motto is "Stick Together". Apparently those who stick together don't use software written by outsiders.

Would anyone care to speculate if this move is likely to retain or repel customers?" []
