I have my phone company right where I want them, in that sh*tty little free phone. I'm done writing about phones. It's really boring.
Smartphone. What you call phone I start more and more seeing as backwards compatibility (GSM standard). Because in a few years we don't use GSM anymore, it is all-IP, and we simply use SIP or VoIP. In that time Nokia does not manufacturer phones anymore, they make devices which are backwards compatible with GSM, or they make devices with which you can use audio to have contact with someone (besides text, video). This device is simply a Maemo/Linux version of a bridge between that, and instead of initially being said to be data-only it now also does voice. Which allows the backwards compatibility to be easier integrated in the whole Maemo stack (with a seperate device for phone/GSM that'd been harder) IOW oFone. But I believe Nokia will also dabble into different form factors so perhaps make a product which is like a big tablet (netbook-alike) running Maemo. Perhaps portable enough for former tablet users.
