I, like many others, am pissed with the overreach of the prosecution and think that the legal system must change. Aaron never deserved 6 months on jail.
That said, it was obvious that Aaron would face the possibility to go to jail many times in his career after he choose to be an internet activist. If you choose this path, it is something you have to be prepared to deal with. A person with severe depression choosing a career like this is an obvious candidate for suicide.
Ortiz, Heymann and MIT are guilty for overreaching and made a bad decision with this prosecution. But they are not murderers. Aaron choose this path. He choose to risk his life to try to change something on the world. He was bold and he will always be remembered.
There is a lot of controversy on the reviews because it lacks LTE. Apart from that, the only thing that this phone have that is not found in many other Android devices is the glass back. The HTC One X (lacks non-removable battery, no SD card slot) and the GNexus (no SD card slot) are famous devices that have this problems.
My point is that the "beauty" of the Android ecosystem is that you can choose between a lot of different designs and specs. The Nexus 4 have glass back, no LTE, no sd card slot and non-removable battery. Will it be more popular than the S3, that don't have any of this "problems"? I don't think so.
I am buying the Nexus 4 because I love the design, I love stock Android and there is no LTE in my country yet. I always really liked the iPhone design and hardware, but the OS and the locked ecosystem are deal breakers to me.

Even if my primary goal was not achieved I am still happy that I learned a few tricks with it.
