just to counter that: I've been running OS X and an iPhone for the
past 8 months, and am now, since watching the stallman video posted
earlier going way off the deep-end and installing the entirely libre
gNewSense distro on my MacBook; and have reverted to using the
partially libre Android-based HTC Magic phone. I now need to find a
completely libre phone akin to the openmoko but with 3g capability
(I've not checked openmoko's progress recently so they may already
have the option).
