Yes... VZ did ship some phones that way, with BING Search Locked to
the phone and that was even on first out of box boot!

Even if you factory reset it, Bing and other garbage was there. It
was an asinine attempt to control the user experience the moment
you opened the box for Verizon's attempt to show whose boss. Lame
attempt at that.
So you'd think that would indemnify Samsung from any
responsibility. In this case the Carriers should be the ones being
sued here. But apparently it doesn't work that way in our court
system. Even though Android isn't Android after the Carriers get
through with it. But why are Carriers allowed to rip the guts out
of Android and NOT Apple's iOS? So that's a point in T-Mobile and
Sprint's favor over both AT&T and Verizon! ....they at least don't
do it to the extent that these two do here in this country!!!
But still naturally if you buy your phone from a Sprint Brick n
Mortar Store or Best Buy, they normally always activate it for you
right there on the spot and the Google Search Widget is there on a
Home Screen for you out of an already opened box. So that still
denies you the true out of box experience you went through with
your devices, apparently. Sprint or Best Buy stores? ...you'll most
always have the Search Widget on the screen by default then.
btw... I searched for Sprint Epic 4G Touch fresh out of box. Found
none with them being all factory sealed. Every video wasn't a true
UNBOXING! and although they didn't have less home screens it was
obvious they had been pre-activated or altered to take away what
Samsung says, means they had been altered. Obviously if it has less
Home Screens.... then someone took them off on Apple's team!
Everyday this Judge makes another decisions that throws this case
further into doubt, that Samsung is getting a fair trial. Whether
that's an Apple set up or not? Well I just don't know, so I'll shut
up. I just think Judge Koh is in over her head and has lost control
of both plaintive and defense's attorneys! ...so hey, just give
Apple the win this is headed for, so we can get on with the appeal![ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
