Nokia has the beginning advantage right now but as the iPhone has shown, a new competitor can easily catch up if the person on top stagnates (e.g. Windows Mobile).

Android I think is more crippled by carriers, since Google seems to give them more control over the ecosystem..

And true, Maemo has Debian repos. But programs have to be "Maemonized".
