How does falling in love with an iPhone show that you don't fully appreciate the value of open source? Tell me about any good open source handset that came out before the iPhone. OpenMoko? I mean, you really had to love open source to put up with it.

Yes, there is still Android but, given how modified the usual handset is, you can't buy a free and open Android on the market as well.

So, where is the problem in using a closed device when "open" just doesn't deliver?



There is a big difference between using and loving.


Which leaves your point unexplained. So, let me reply in an equally enigmatic fashion:

There are many reasons for which a thing can be loved.
