Instead that locked in with a single carrie in the US because the back end on the visual voice mail needs to be special.

are you serious? yeah a company that has never done a phone goes out and releases one that is open to all networks, all technologies...yeah that will succeed? think of the issues that would go along with support of all these different technologies, some networks need sim cards some dont and on and on.
Apple prides itself on having strict control on how their products are used (except the appletv) and they limit the variable to improve the experience.
So I think you are way off on your theories as to Apple's business model in the phone industry.
