Yes it is. It's stupid, shortsighted, and it is going to cost them money in the long term. They are still doing this. But I don't understand about you not having option of buying phone. They won't allow you to use different phone with your sim or anything? You can just drop to a store, buy unlocked Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S III, Xperia S or something, and use it right?
