It's just another re-branding of the same old model of the phone company wedging themselves between you and the phone in your pocket. I'm really dissapointed about this because I have been hoping that we would be getting an actual computing platform without having to hack our way into our own devices. Try again. THAT’S NOT OPEN!

You submit to danger/t-mobile, they test and approve, it goes to the catalog and you're paid royalties. 2) whoever wrote this obviously doesn't know that t-mobile doesn't lock the device down from loading 3rd party apps, it's part of the OS as Danger designed it. It has always just required a developer key, earned by proving you can develop. So if t-mobile *is* opening their phones, danger will have to change their business model entirely. However, it sounds like they're just making more phones work like the sidekick because they make more money when they have a hand in application distrobution.

With the faves interface, @home, hotspot, family allowance etc. It makes me happy to be associated.

Or are they putting out new firmware updates for most phones? So does this mean I have to buy a newer phone from them for this to work? Or are they putting out new firmware updates for most phones?
