Try using it to write anything that is not in the dictionary. It totally sucks for everything outside maybe text messaging. On a tablet it would only be worse.
I pick the third option, fix the OS for that phone. I am running 2.3.3 on a Droid. WP7 won't be like that, it will be as locked down as apple without any of the upside.
You can still get those batteries at the dollar store, the pharmacy still sells saltpeter, lye is easy enough to get online. Now I will wait patiently for the authorities to arrest me.
We are talking about selling location off to advertisers and other scumbags with marketing degrees. Even the phone companies should not be holding that data any longer than needed for billing.
Or you just need to have a modded location service that will submit fake data to the untrusted application. Not sure about iPhones but this would be something nice to have in an android ROM.
If the option is get a phone with this warning or no phone at all, then this is not stepping up. This is then just as useless as not offering the information.
I completely agree with all your points. There are a couple options here to get what you want; Use "FREE" software, sunshine being the best disinfectant, or use regulations.
Otherwise it is foolish to expect any other outcome.
Because then you refuse to run when you can't connect to the network, No contacts is also a dead give away. What you really need is to fake access to a very slow network connection, one that corrupts data too. Contact lists and stuff like that would need to also be fake not empty.
This would take lots of development on top of the standard, not sure any rom does this.
You don't have to go trusing them. It is a linux kernel, compile your own. You don't even need root to do that, just the ability to flash a kernel onto the device.
What does it say about the state of mobile security when it is rational to trust people on an android fan forum to build your software more than you trust a company that has a lot to lose and should have a strong sense of responsibility?
He surely means from linux to android. From windows to android would be such a huge changes as to practically be a total rewrite of all but the most basic applications. Even from linux to android it will at the very least have to be ported to java or invoked with java and use the NDK.
I totally agree, I just wanted to answer your question.
I would rather stick with verizon at this point than risk that T-mobile will become AT&T. I would really consider moving to a regional carrier rather than AT&T if it came down to it.
The FOSS community adapt to the app store model? Are you fucking insane? They invented it. An app store is just a shiny frontend to a rather poorly done repository.

One character at a time and you might as well use a better keyboard for that.

Nice way to leave out the real competition. Programming for android is nice as well by the way.
So you just happen to work for a marketing company?
No one mentioned open or closed, more MS has changed marketing BS in your post though.

The only one I can find is the entry fee. There is lots of GPL software available in the market.
Who said complete?

Sure, but we want a check that fails based on probably real life scenarios not the user killed your permissions.

Yes they do have a good (for them) reason. Google is an advertiser, this will hurt them.
What we really need is a law stating that this does not void the warranty. A Moss Magnuson act for phones.

That it is exactly the same as the desktop?
Rooting does not present another issue if you do it correctly. Root the phone then flash the OS back on without the apps you do not want.
I would just recommend going right to CM7 if your phone is supported though.

You can, it just is not idiot easy. There are firewalls for android, and iptables is available as well.
Which reminds me: if you're not paying for a product/service (google, facebook, slashdot, reddit, etc.) you're not the customer...you're the product.
So who exactly is the customer of Debian? Wine? XFCE? LibreOffice?
That wide brush might be useful for painting a house, but what you are trying to do now requires a little more detail work.

So port it yourself or pay someone to do it.

I suggest you then sell the GPL code and a non-privacy invasive wrapper. Then you can make a $1 each and provide a needed service.
T-mobile I think has a data only when you want it plan. I know they sell uncrippled phones outright as well.
That and it has a terrible OS, horrible user interface and in general sucks.
Heck the OS is so bad they bought QNX, just so they could have an OS that did not suck.
As to their revenue model, I believe they base that on selling your private information to dictators and despots instead of advertisers.
Obligatory snoot about "It's been on MY desktop since 199x!
I suggested as an alternative, not as the only choice. If you want to go another route then go for it, but pay cash and/or privacy your choice.
That reminds me, GOG has witcher without DRM, better go see if it runs in wine.
