i think slowly and slowly we are coming to it. as some of new operation systems for mobiles(can't really call them like that anymore) are developed separate from the actually device itself(android and now meego). as well people port operation systems (nitdroid or android on iphone). i think next step is to go to court and ask for opportunity to have to choose the OS on phone, as linux users did back in times when you had to buy only windows laptops and pay extra money even if you want only linux system.
