Agreed on all your points, especially the last -- only I'd include a shorter patent term as well. If the phone is going to have an artificially limited life of 3 years, the 3 year term for both copyright and patent on its constituent parts (software and hardware) is more than reasonable: especially given that the whole purpose of copyright and patent is to build up the public domain commons for society's benefit.
