Neither iPhone or OpenMoko are revolutionary

[Renaissance Man]

Er, and no GSM. The Nokia 800 is as worthless as the iPhone and Neo.

In fact the answer is the Nokia N80 and Truphone:

But the reason I wrote is because I think the iPhone and OpenMoko Neo  
are great products (much more potential than the Nokia N80), except  
that they both drop the ball.

I was so disappointed to find out the iPhone didn't support VoIP via  
WiFi. And then I saw this this article and the photos:

...and I thought, "yah, I bet you it's got WiFi too!" ...but it  
doesn't. It doesn't have the one thing it needs to be a revolution.
