I've hacked every mobile I've ever owned, mainly to unlock "network
independent features", but latterly out of habit.
For example, the Moto V3 I got from Orange had its video recording
feature disabled (for some reason best known to Orange) whereas
customers Stateside had all the fun (Cingular). Soon fixed that with a
visit to MotoX.us, but yeah, an Open platform is what's really needed
rather than all that binary hacking using "classified" engineers'
software - not that Orange (or any other network) would be very happy
about that though.
