This is what i have been saying for 2 years already!!!!!

The most immediate thing is the fact smartphones are taking over the market. Basic phones will of course stay but smartphones are over half of even Nokia's all phones sold already.

The second thing that you are touching there is that phones like Galaxy S, HTC Desire, N95 are so much more than just huge revenue makers. Those products elevate your brand helping the mid, bottom end, gather mind share, bring developers etc. These product themselves are their own ecosystem.
