Mobile phone makers are seeing a opponent in google now when Nexus one was released. I think HTC and Google will try to push Android more and more into market but other mobile makers will try to use it less and try to push own platforms like Samsung with Baidu for example. Even Quallcomm resurrected it's Brew platform to have something just in case.

@charbax, Nokia is NO LiMo member and Maemo is certainly not LiMo-based if that is what you meant. Maemo is based on Debian and is completely built from scratch by Nokia (and was first used on the Nokia 770 in 2005 [called ITOS2005]). The LiMo foundation was founded in 2007?!

Nokia could probably make some of the best value and most popular Android based phones if they decided to release them. They can include Ovi-store or whatever other exclusive services that they want simply as exclusive Android apps. Yup I agree.

But software-wise they're falling behind. Why not take advantage of the success of Android by facilitating its use on their devices? These days, it's all about the apps, and there are very few apps available for Nokia's Maemo. Nokia makes great hardware. But software-wise they're falling behind.
