If the iPhone isn't a smartphone and it isn't an ordinary phone, does that make it a stupidphone? An insolent phone? Certainly some wise wordsmith here has a catchy way of phrasing this.<br><br>I look forward to voting with my dollars and buying an open phone like the Neo. When is it going to ship? Still January sometime?

Yeah, that apple iphone is locked down! It uses apple ipod dock<br>connector, can't be upgraded, can't remove the battery, is locked into<br>apple DRM, etc...blah...<br><br>The openmoko project has a major opening here and vital that people
