It's as connected through its SELLphone modem as your WebTV iPhoney
wannabe. Mine's on Alltel EVDO by choice, not by force. I don't have to
hack into it to get it to RUN SOFTWARE, either. Noone gets punished when I
access it as root...er, ah, unless I screw up, then ME! The loader just
re-installs over my mistakes in a minute or two, then my punishment is
reinstalling ALL the software I'd previously installed from maemo.org or
the other repositories full of freeware I can INSTALL and RUN on it,
without some Apple or ATT bureaucrat's permission, of course:

There must have been SOME reason it was the number one seller on Amazon.com
last Christmas...(c; I still think that must have been an error, but they
tell me it's true.

Don't YOU get one or even touch one, though. I don't wanna spoil your
iPhone fantasy trip into WebTVland.
