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.
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? --Lee On 1/10/07, Jon Phillips <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
