It can not to do an comparation with other phone because OM try to use
only the most opened hardware components and to have a open developing
process.

If the Freerunner would use closed component at least he could have UMTS
/ HSDPA, a 3D accelerator, and other cute things. (in a few for a Iphone
clone)

But choosing a Open development you must to renunce all the component
where you need to sign NDA to use it.

It is a very DIFFICULT street. And I am not so sure who write the
article know all this.

It every case this phone must be reviewed more as a blank book where
every people can what he want.

My 2 cent.
