Yeah, they seem to be far more OS agnostic than Nokia--and your second point is RIGHT on the button, the very reason why I suspect they have far more pull than Nokia.

I hope Samsung is genuine about the open-source push--if MeeGo could woo Samsung into a handset for us, I suspect we'll ALLLLLLL be much better for it for every possible reason--the fact that they PRODUCE a lot of the components being far and away the biggest win of all.
