I know that you can always work around it. It's the principle of "crippling" that leaves that bad taste in the mouth. I just hope that Cingular doesn't jump in this wagon

I totally agree.

This makes Cingular pretty much the last big carrier to not cripple their phones, save for Alltel, I think. This should almost be an advertised selling point for them now.

nope. cingular does as well. not to the extent of NOT offering something, but take newer model phones with java. running a third party app and that app not having 'cingular' approved certs will require you to grant access at each refresh, so you cannot have an 'always allow' feature like you used to could.

If you're talking about the CU500, I have that phone and have performed the work around for that problem. That is just a software related issue, not Cingular purposefully blocking things.

i've tried it on the e-62, 8525, cu400/500, sync and blackjack. all the same thing. but how did you get it working. because they did change the way the unsigned certificates are handled.
