no, Android is not able to be locked down as much as carriers want. they want to control all the content, and they can't do that with Android. If you notice, all AT&T Android phones can't have apps loaded from USB or SD card. They are market only apps. Yet the phones can still be flashed with other Android images to free them from that.

They've also been resisting Android 2.2 (the reason the Galaxy S phones don't have Android 2.2 yet) because they don't want users to be able to tether without AT&T being able to charge them $40 a month more.

They just don't understand that tightening down like that will only push people to leave.
