I agree, That was my point. It depends on user/consumer and the applications that are available. The decision in the near future will be driven by the developers of the Applications. They will be the ones that have to decide which platform will support their application. They will have to also look at the demographics of the phone owners. If an application is what is needed by the user, they will purchase the phone that support it. This is one of the reasons carriers and phone manufacture are…

This is one of the reasons carriers and phone manufacture are tying to woo developers to develop on their systems.<br />
