"Once you get an invitation, you’ll also need a Nexus 6—the first smartphone to work with our network of networks. You can buy one from Project Fi when you sign up or bring one you already use."
=> seriously. its a "Device lockin" instead of "network lockin"
- kevincrane 11y agoI think that's a hardware issue, not an attempt to lock you in. (I assume) you need something special in order to seamlessly switch between networks/wifi. That or it's their own way to filter out demand while they start slow and test it out.
- fizzbatter 11y agoWell the same could be said about any new service that requires a specific (new) technology, no? In theory it won't be device lockin in the coming year(s). Your objection seems a bit silly at the present time. Now, if Google has this technology licensed and only they themselves are allowed to use it in phones.. then you'd have a valid argument.
