IMHO, not really - HN is niche compared to everyone who was using HowardForums to hack on their Motorola and Nokia phones back in the day, myself included. T-Mobile was on the 900/1800 (?) spectrum which matched Europe and other places you could buy eBay phones, and T-Mobile was always free and open to people doing this. You could call support and get someone to help you with adding the right APNs and whatnot, they were always the "un-carrier" to many of us.
