I reckon they want to do their numbers with new users in China. People really don't care about their (smart)phones... at least most of them. If you have enough money, you get an iPhone (or a SGS3, but your pocket has to be big too), if you don't have much money you get a lower end Android.

Most people who actually use their phones for talking, they'll buy a dumbphone - at least this is what I observed in my travels. Some would even sport a Nokia 5800 - but they'll be talking constantly on them. Never seen that happen with an iPhone/Samsung/HTC, espcially on the train.

For me, I like Meego, I regret not getting an N900 in the past, and would like the project to continue. Is it Sailfish now? So be it. iOS can't compare in any way - next year I'll get an Android and I'll tell you my thoughts are. I'm already feeling too lazy to have to run a tcpdump and see what the Android is talking to.
