Geeks’Phone’s CCR Program: a Real Open Source Phone

I think this illustrates that what you get when you buy an Android phone
on a 2 year contract is not really 'open' in the way we think about open.
I also think that we will never see any open hardware in the US, the
carriers have too much control and the FCC is just a political tool.

So is there a place were I can put my outrage to some productive good?
is there an EFF for phones?
Aka I want open hardware that I own and to be able to buy service from
companies at fair market price ( in which companies compete with one
anther not collude )
Ok, enough of the rants. If you want serious answers to questions,
you've got to ask it as something other than a drunk frat boy with a
chip on his shoulder.
There are 160 people on this mailing list, and I'm sure I'm not the only
one that gets tired of it.
The tenor of the list had gone a lot more ranting of late, which is
something I want to put a stop to. You are one of the main instigators.
So please stop.

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
