at first i was wondering if they could somehow legally hit apple for some of that cash back, blaming apple for the fault in their product or blaming the structure of their deal with the carrier.
but then i thought, wait a sec... if apple did sell unlocked iphones, they still would not have been activated on at&t. lol. and if iphones couldnt be unlocked, then those people wouldn't have bought the phones then. (or would have just imported them from somewhere else)
so really, Synchronoss is full of crap and lost nothing at all! those are phones that, if not capable of being unlocked, would have never been sold anyway, thus still not bringing in any cash regardless. lol
nice way to confuse people into believing your excuse for poor results by mixing numbers with a known industry "problem," Synchronoss.
What youre saying is partially correct. Dont forget that many people waited till the iPhone was unlocked to buy. However, if the iPhone had never been unlocked, many people would have switched to AT T, and, then, Synchronoss would have made more money. I know, the difference is not that big, and there werent that many switchers, but the situation would have been slightly different without the unlock. And that small difference, when were talking about millions of dollars, is not that small.
