Jason: Say hello to the world's next tech titan! Peter: Now what? Jason: You know how the smartphone market is rapidly becoming a battle between apple and Google? I'm going to eat both of their lunches! Presenting the iDhroine! The only handset that combines key features of iPhones and Androids! Push this button and it's open source! Push this one and it's neatly closed! Push this button and it works on your favorite carrier! Push this one and it won't! Push this button and it syncs with iTunes! Push thing one and it wont! The dual features go on and on! No more silly flame wars! Finally a phone that Apple and Google fanboys can agree on! Peter: ...That it's awful? Jason: Keep in mind, the real thing's screen won't be drawn with crayons. Peter: You gave it half a physical keyboard??

For me and my fellow Luddites, how about a phone where you punch in a number, hit a button, and you have a voice connection with the person on the other end? Is that too complicated?

You know, in every other country in the world, buying a phone and picking a carrier are separate transactions. We need a system like that here.
