Low DRM? I looked at Huawei devices because I figured they'd have to sell them here super cheap because of this downside most Europeans people will even see as a showstopper ("how will I install my precious WhatsApp??"), but - they're among the most expensive (I could afford that if needed though) - they don't allow hardware unlock (ehh.. what's the point, then, if I get a locked-down device with Chinese surprises!) | |||||||||||||||||
