Also it has a console mode that is standard linux and you can do whatever your heart desires there. I have installed linphone there and am looking at installing a couple of other apps on the device, which Levelstar and APH may not support, but which I can do because they have not closed the system to me. Quite the contrary, it's mine and I can do whatever if feel appropriate to it. So to answer your statement, yes you can install whatever your heart desires on it and have all the fun that I am having.
