To answer the question captured in the thread title...

Knowledgeable people including rwhitby have assured us that CDMA radio drivers are all closed source and a port of Open to those devices can not happen...

Sorry.

Sorry.

I actually hadn't seen that before. While I figured from the start it would be the truth, I didn't want to believe Guess I'll be moving on from the platform unless Phoenix has a viable option.

Wow, I don't know how I missed that, but I pretty bummed...we just moved from Sprint to Verizon. I would have looked at AT&T and possibly T-Mobile if I knew only GSM phones are able to get Open webOS.

Sorry, I must have been living under a rock.

For now that is the case... But if gram generates a PE (Professional Edition) for a cell phone OEM then anything is possible once more. Granted that is a big if...

I'm somewhat hopeful that LG will want a webOS phone to pair with the webOS TV they have in development.
