The components that I feel could and should be replaced are those three mentioned in an earlier posting: wi-fi, bluetooth and possibly the dsp code (at least the former two are always open source in linux kernels for other devices). There shouldn't be any reason for having closed wi-fi and BT drivers.

<snip>The fact that Nokia is trying to make a working business model based on (partial) GPL software is only to be applauded as it will only give more credibility to the opensource/gnu/.... "movement".

Do you have a reference for that? I thought cx3110 was pretty good in that regard.
