It is very interesting to hear about the new wave of smartphone devices coming out this year. A majority of these phones run on Android or Windows. It is even more surprising to see a Manufacturers like HTC and Samsung to make multiple devices with roughly the same hardware, but loading different mobile operating systems like Windows Mobile, custom roms of Linux Mobile, and Android. HTC started making Windows phones, but has expanded to Android. Samsung makes phones using Linux Mobile, Windows, Android, and their own OS for their non-smartphones. Now Dell is coming into the game selling a phone running on Android. There is also ASUS/Garmin that is selling a phone that runs on Windows. Motorola is selling their DEXT with Android. The market is flooded with devices running on Windows Mobile and Android.
The next interesting point is all these phones are particular made in the same factory. All these manufacturers outsource their manufacturing to Foxconn or another company all located in the same city. It really doesn't matter which device you buy it is being built by the same people. Normally you could compare devices by saying it's a Dell and it's built in Texas, but that is no longer true (Dell just announced they are closing a manufacturing plant in NC).
