Will it work on Verzion Wireless? Open as in Open Source is a good choice, but we are not quite there yet. The big software houses hang on to the paradigm of buying or leasing their product(s) that have proprietary features and interfaces.
The "ripped" version of the iPhone might be the way to go and for me that means a new carrier - to be cheaper.

Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong." - Ayn Rand (1905-1982) "I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories instead of theories to suit facts." - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), Sherlock Holmes "I've now been to 57 states...I have one more to go...they wouldn't let me go to Alaska and Hawaii."
