[kwlug-disc] kwlug impressions of Android? [Was: Re:DailyTech-Android 2.2 Now Available for Nexus One Users]

The way it was explained is that the provider, Rogers in this case, would provide services not available to a non-locked mobile.  Exactly what or how was not explained and I didn't pursue it.

I doubt that he can get more functionality than the Full functionality of an rooted phone.
