I think this is right, its not just the phone hardware that needs to be changed but the architecture of the software...what I would want to see is a single sign on service on any phone (regardless of hardware/os) which downloads my profile (all my data and apps) when I connect into it (regardless of geography or network carrier lock) and may extend to landline handsets too. Maybe its too much to hope for?
