But really, what's there to hate about having "full internet" in your pocket, or is it just the words?

If it means that the OS is real Linux instead of ...
The thing is ... "full internet" has nothing to do with "full OS". Assuming apps get ported to the device (which is a valid qualifier even if it's a full "non-neutered" Linux install), anything that has a full IP stack, and isn't heavily proxied/firewalled/filtered by the provider, is a "full internet" device. Even Symbian, WinCE/WinMo, and Android.

What marketing-droids typically mean by "full internet" is the device has a web browser that's not a watered down "Mobile only" WAP browser ... support for pages and web applications implemented with java, javascript / ajax, and/or flash. That's really more "full web experience" than "full internet" ... but try teaching a marketing-droid distinctions like that ;-)
