I have not come here to praise the Nexus One, but I have not come here to bury it either – instead, I wanted to offer you one simple message (which also explains why Microsoft hasn’t created a prototype device of its own for Windows Phone 7):

Not much to add here…

I’ll offer a slight historical corollary on that:
Palm, back in its heyday, did compete with its hardware partners and did fairly well. That was, of course, something of a rare situation and in a very different time.
Hi Med,

IMHO, it worked for them until competing OSses became available…what happened then, we know ;(.
With compliments
