But does your wife want a hackable phone? Does she really care?

Does she want to have to deal with it when she downloads an app that sounds cool and it ends up installing spyware on her machine and drains her battery and drops her phonecalls?

Or would she maybe rather give up some hackable freedom for ease-of-use and a promise of a protected experience?

No she doesn't. She's perfectly happy with the iPhone. Even if she envies the functionality on my HTC sometimes.

But the discussion here were HACKER phones, not consumer phones.
