Regardless... I have my own feelings. And non-communication is higher on my list of no-no's than bad communication (sometimes) but at this moment, Nokia and Apple are neck and neck for companies I will not purchase until they both do better.

And I own stock for both. Imagine that.

After reading this, and reading the story about the Droid X tripping a fuse and bricking itself if it's modded; it really cements the fact that truely open source operating systems may become a safe haven for smartphone owners. Meego and Symbian might get some converts that way, who knows?

Any phone with an OMAP3 has an eFuse chip, just no one activates them.

Analysts have estimated a recall could cost up to $1.5bn (£1bn) whereas the cost of issuing free rubber bumpers to alleviate the problem would be cheaper. Estimates based on the retail costs of bumpers suggest giving out the protectors would cost nearly $180m (£118m).
