       | still do whatever we want on our phones are closing.

       | computer in my pocket but not allowed to use it the way I want
       | because google/apple says no sucks, we need this.

       | 
       | Imagine a phone that you can just swap and mix components from
       | different manufacturers. You could buy the components yourself
       | and assemble, like a standard PC. If one manufacturer tries to
       | lock you in, or you don't like their component you simply replace
       | them with others from a different manufacturer.

         | software is a far far bigger problem than the hardware (and
         | this is from someone who is _extremely_ disappointed in current
         | phone hardware). I'd take free and open software over hardware
         | at this point. Obviously both is better, but the software has a
         | far bigger impact on our lives than the hardware.
