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.
