no one mentioned the motorola droid yet? It's getting a lot of attention at the moment (how much of that is due to the hardware and how much is due to android 2.0 i don't know)
An 'open' OS which allows applications to be downloaded, installed and run on the device. Symbian, Android, iPhone OS and Windows mobile are all open in this sense. Nokia's S40 and Sony Ericsson's OSE are not
Even in this definition of 'open', apple are pretty closed. Making app developers go through a strict vetting process and only allowing apps to run with-in their own sandboxes with a limited set of API's.
ps. I can download and install apps in my s40 nokia just fine.
