I'm sure we can look forward to a Linux Mint phone pretty soon ;) On a more serious note... People who say, "Linux, therefore it can be hacked to your liking" really don't understand the public at large or aren't empathetic. I mean if you have the complete source (we're talking, no proprietary binaries as well), as Stallman would say, you can pay someone else to change the thing for you, but how many people would really invest the time and effort to that? We would need an army of people like this : http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1047633/one-writes-linux-drivers-235-usb-webcams http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1047633/one-writes-... ... willing to invest time & energy and have a passion for doing things because they should be done so those who can't or, for various reasons, won't will still benefit. I can count on one hand, the number of strangers I've met that come close.
