I once had a fiend that said to me why would you ever buy an Audi (with respect to German cars). If you want luxury go for a Merc.
If you want a sporty number go for a BMW or Porsche. Seems to be the same for Android to me. If you want Apps why not get a fruit phone? If you want openess....

If app's were important in the Open source world Linux, would have died a long time ago, I mean not even 1% of the desktop market WTF. Sure it would be nice to have shed loads of apps, but for me standards and choice are more important, and Open source keeps all the proprietary companies honest. Nokia will always get my £500 every 18 months as long as they continue to invest upstream.
