"Yes, the iPhone is arguably the greatest cell phone on the market. It is a technological work of art. As long as you don’t mind Apple’s restrictions on the software you may install, the iPhone may be the phone for you. Keep in mind, Apple has the final say on what software you are allowed to install, and they have shown a willingness and an aptitude for censoring the software allowed on the iPhone.

"In essence, the iPhone you purchase belongs to Apple, not to you.

"The FreeRunner isn't as great a cell phone as the iPhone. The entire point of the FreeRunner is that it isn't really a cell phone."
