Everybody here emphasises on this OSS concept, but I think like Marc-Olivier, that we do not need to speak about OSS at all.
This phone will update its software automatically, bugs will not live more than 3 days, it's skins will be customizable, every piece of software you do not use will be removable to gain memory for your mp3, etc.. etc... Where is the OSS concept for a end user here ? *You* know that bugs will be quickly corrected because you are a developper, not everybody. We do not care if it's open, we care about the features other phones do not have. Let's find something without "free" in it.
