Maybe sharing some closed code with some trusted developers like they are doing on the MeeGo project.
Yeah, I don't know how anyone can break the almighty NDA.. oh wait that was sarcasm. You agree to it just like you agree to EULAs. But besides that.. there isn't much to talk about with the Ovi Suite Beta.. unless I'm missing something (never really used the original).

Anyhow, I will agree that it would be great if we could have a 100% open source phone, but I just don't see it happening. It's more likely that nVidia would publish specs to their video cards...
