This sadly also applies to Windows; Win Mobile was just Windows-on-the-phone, Win Phone is a crazy Silverlight slideshow. Thank you, Apple, for showing the market that dumb smartphones sell better than the real ones )-:

How is iPhone a dumb smartphone? The fact that it's not open (in any mean) doesn't mean it's dumb.

Does it have a shell? Can you write, compile and run a C app on it? Connect to OpenVPN without breaking warranty? Open few app windows side by side? Run another OS? I did all this on my windows mobile (very closed OS) devices, maemo would also have no problem with that.
