I like the tagline Your phone, your way. The idea is that we are putting
the consumer in control - this line may mean different things to a techie
and non-techie, but that's okay - it ties in with the spirit of freedom.

u is often short for the Greek letter \mu (in Latex notation) which in turn is
used as a sign for micro in many places. That may confuse people as it might

That is absolutely true! No amount of marketing to non-techies will help
until we have a solid software stack which includes UI responsiveness and a

A consumer ad campaign is NOT the place to push the free as in beer vs
free as in speech argument. The phrase free phone already means the
opposite of what we want it to mean. It's done, finished, over. Move on.
