Interesting to observe is that some operators have removed excellent OEM services, for example Orange seems to have removed SEMC's Blogger on K800i, which was (more or less) seamlessly embedded from a UI standpoint. I guess the operators also see that the OEM:s are trying to target a vertical and skip a layer in the value chain.

It will be interesting to see if churn decreases significantly as these handsets become more widespread in the market and then start to hit the upgrade cycle.
