But isn't the GTM601 GSM/UMTS modem in the GTA04 just as closed as any other? How is then GTA04 an improvement over GTA02 in terms of openness/freedom? If anything, it's a step backward from the GTA02 in terms of openness/freedom: at least for the GTA02's Calypso the free world already has free physical access (legalities aside, please) to full hw documentation for all guts of that chipset and to the fw source for a different Calypso phone (TSM30) which may some day be back-ported to Leonardo/GTA02. For the GTM601/GTA04 we don't have even that.
