Not really, but Verizon has an excuse! As a CDMA carrier, there's less
equipment for them to choose from, since the GSM market (worldwide) is so
much larger. T-Mo has no real excuse for a lousy selection since they can
use "off the shelf" hardware from dozens of manufacturers with little to no
modification.

True, but Verizon's handsets have to essentially be designed and built for
them and then specially crippled to their exacting specifications! ;-)
That takes time and effort!
