Does it need too? Please check with me before your next purchase, it will make life easier on both of us

Looks like a cool phone for sure, I'd love to see it. Like I said before, I like the iPhone, although for me, I'd need a phone that had an open architecture that allows 3rd party apps to run AND that would let me choose my own network provider. For the consumer, I think that there will be a rush of products to fill that void and ultimately the consumer will win.

That said, Apple deserves credit for taking cell phones to the next step in hardware evolution.
