There will never be a hacker-friendly mobile phone for
instance.
I'm not entirely convinced this is true, especially since there can be
more than one form of "hacker-friendly" (perhaps most broadly, the
difference between hardware-hacker-friendly, which is what we were
talking about here, and software-hacker-friendly, which is a matter of
design and documentation, not construction technology).
But never mind....
Component level repair on those is impossible,
Really? I've had one of mine (a Nokia 5190) apart, and it doesn't look
any worse than any other surface-mount stuff.
