Why Open Source Phones Still Fail (PC Magazine)

PC Magazine says that open phones are failing because mobile carriers are afraid of them. "The networks can take a few mavericks that are willing to pay high prices, seek out obscure sales channels, or risk turning their phones into doorstops through jailbreaking. But the carriers know that as long as they subsidize phones, they'll control the phones are sold en masse. And those aren't going to be open devices."
