Dave, for IP if you wish...

Good grief, apple has really gone over the top on this one.  I don't
know about other Windows Mobile phone brands, but HTC phones can load
many different software radios into the device, even from totally
different HTC models.  Of course this voids your warranty, but TONS of
modified software radios are available for them, not just legit
releases from HTC flash images.  I don't see cell phone towers
crashing because of malicious Win Mobile hacked phones.  And of course
I can load whatever other app I want onto my Win Mobile phone, written
in any of literally dozens of programming languages, unlike the
iPhone, in which only those approved by The Steve may be used.

The world truly must be turned on it's head with MS phones being the
most open and Apple's being the most closed.
