I live and work in technology, but the people I know seem to be more of the type who do what they do with laptops, etc. Even my die-hard apple friends just use simple/cheap cell-phones. Where are they, and what was it about the iPhone (or previous phones they'd owned) BESIDES the hype that made them drop the cash, that's my question... Actually,

This looks like it is going to be an insanely awesome phone that gives you (and me! I'm gonna buy one) the freedom to do with it what you will. From choosing your own GSM cellular provider, to adding/removing/modifying applications on the phone at YOUR discretion! This is unlike the iPhone which is completely locked down. I value Liberty, and I value gadgets, it just happens that I've found both of those in a phone. I am just a consumer, I don't work there or make any money from you buying this phone. The more people who value their freedom, the better the market becomes for everyone; that's all. ezekiel \/""""\/ You should check out openmoko.com
