What's the disadvantage of being able to open it up? That's the part I don't quite understand. It could be disabled by default and require the user to enable an "expert" or "full featured" mode, or something like that.
I think we're going to eventually reach a point where the European iPhone is far superior to and more innovative than the American one, just because of the fact that you can do a lot more with it. Apple's software will have to compete on merit, not just win by default because it's the only choice available on the device.
I'm actually curious as to if it determines EU vs US based on where you buy the phone, based on country for the account, or based on something else entirely.
