And then Jobs forced through a phone with no telecom rot, and it did even less.

And they very quickly corrected and the 3g had an appstore.

… as opposed to when?

I suppose what my post is getting at is more or less that if android and apple hadnt asserted their marketplace that the result would have been that their devices would be slightly open feature phones. With the Verizon Store and ATT-Store and etc instead where everything costs money even things that would otherwise be free like chat apps.

There might be a higher end unsubsidized market for enthusiasts and enterprise users and of course I imagine on the android end we'd still get the nexus line for vanilla android, but it would be a bit of a mess.
