You're looking at it wrong, it's better than a gun. Market it to the NRA.
It looks like the evil little transformer that got electrocuted in the transparent box.
You do need a WiFi+UMA phone, which limits you a little if you really need an S60 Nokia and are picky. Otherwise, there are 2 or 3 Blackberries, Nokias, Samsungs, and the ZN5 Motorola that are WiFi+UMA-capable.

The G1 isn't UMA-capable, which is a shame. You can't have everything.
Umm.. why doesn't this phone how up as a unlimited Hotspot @Home calling phone on T-mobile's website? The wifi for only web surfing on a phone w/o a full qwerty keyboard seems a little too much.
Umm... Hotspot @ Home turns any WiFi router into a "femtocell" and supports hand-offs to T-Mobile's network. And T-mobile only charges $10/month for unlimited wifi calling per line or $20/month for unlimited wifi calling for a family plan. Compare that with Sprint's ungodly number of monthly charges and paying for the femtocell to boot.

If people are actually considering GPS-locked femtocells to be better than Hotspot @ Home, they're idiots. I've used my 6301 (Soon to be a ZN5) with a T-mobile number from Europe and India using wifi. This is about as big a no brainer as it gets.
I think somebody at Intel really loves the trash talk, first Nvidia, now ARM... who's next?

He is right though, how many fully open ARM devices are there that will run any compiled code in widespread adoption? N8*0? GP2X? Boards sold by digikey? Yep, those are widespread (I'm not being facetious). ARM stuff is locked down way too often and therefore not too smart. Sorry iPhone.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
