   | so again, get a linux cellphone and you have more then smart and no

     Yes, I can buy a cellphone that can't run Android   
   apps. I could then install an Android environment on   
   that phone and get certified by Google to install   
   Android apps. Maybe I can even get a phone service   
   provider to give me a plan... Great.   
      
     You're talking nonsense. It's not a viable solution,   
   and even if it were, 99% of people couldn't manage   
   it. This is like the people who rave about Linux desktop.   
   You need to be a geek to install it and once installed,   
   the software is lacking. Sure, you're free of Microsoft.   
   But it's an idiotic answer to a problem that needs to be   
   solved at a much higher level, by passing laws that   
   kick tech companies off of private devices.   
      
     This is what I as describing above. For geeks to   
   answer these problems with, "Then be a geek" is less   
   than helpful. It's obfuscating and disingenuous.
