A friend of mine had one and I spent more time on the phone w/ Verizon Tech Support and resetting the damned device then he got to using it. It felt like Blackberry rushed it to compete w/ other Touchscreen handheld devices. -- A: Yes. Q: Are you sure? A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.

Giovanni Said: Smartphone == a hardware object which contains a programmable computer, with memory a touch screen user interface, and also contains cell phone system connection ability, upon which potentially a properly designed Debian GNU(Linux) subdistro could run. I would interject that Blackberrys are widely considered Smartphones, in fact really being the first of the bread, but only one Blackberry Model contained a touch screen interface... Really doubt they could support debian, but really I don't see debian running on any of them in the near future...
