Yes, I am sorry, I forgot to mention, first smartphone with touchscreen . That was the point of arguing, that everybody copied Iphone for the design (meaning a uni-body touchscreen phone).

I'd say that's the complete opposite of reality, Google allows manufacturer customisations, Microsoft does not. Other manufacturers had already made Windows Phones, the reason they weren't 'ubiquitous' was because the market had already spoken.
Most of the time time those customizations screwed up the whole Android experience. The only phones with true Android experience are the Nexus'es. The rest have somewhat of android, but uglier and slower just because those customizations. Windows provides the same clean experience on every device, experience that Android users gets only by rooting and flashing a custom Nexus port . I had the Galaxy S, and the stock firmware is crap, why, because samsung stuck it's nose in it and added useless stuff just to call that phone A SAMSUNG not a Google Phone by Samsung.
