This shows that you should only buy phones where you, as a user, can choose to download 3rd party software to replace any part of the phone software pertaining to the user interface and apps. And this, without any obligation for the developer to have to register his app with the phone maker and/or telecom operator.
This way your phone will become more and more usable following the advances of all the smart developers in the world. Actually, you do not want a smartphone. You want an open phone where you can install the work of smartdevs:-)
For instance, I am fully satisfied with my SE P900. It is symbian, but I do not use any of the built-in apps that I replaced by much more usable ones (hint: the latest one is Mandala IT, http://mandalait.com/). And I do not see myself upgrading my phone hardware for the next years, as my phone gets better and better all the time this way...
nope the good one is: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/KupuEdi torAd dOn based on the nice KUPU editor (we tried before with htmlarea, which didnt seemed alive, with a java applet - but java html editing support was unusable - then kupu which is really nice)
rather than a rack, you may consider the new
"Flex ATX" form factor. With integrated MB like
the ASUS CUSI-FX, and small Flex cases like
http://www.galeriesdefi.com/176.htm, I made myself a great ADSL router (linux:-) at home...
other cases:
