Everyone misses the point.
A huge group of consumers are buying phones based on their preferred network - or the network where they have a current contract.
I know plenty of people who ended up with a blackberry over an iphone (self included), or a droid over an iphone because they want to stay on Verizon. These people are not "jailbreaking" anything.
I only recently decided to pay the bucks to get into an iPhone because I just couldn't take it anymore.... I had to have the apps.
After a few weeks, I have 1.6GB of apps on my phone, several pages worth.
So, back on point, Droid stinks because:
1) You can't just pick your network and still pay only $200 for the phone. (or any good phone)
2) There is almost no space for apps.
3) You have to use Google Checkout to buy an app.
4) There are only a fraction of the apps available and they haven't gone through a rigorous approval process, so you don't know what you are installing.

Any process that has let dead baby apps through only to revoke them later, or denied bugfix updates to applications (after waiting weeks for approval) that have been previously approved, cannot possibly be called "rigorous". "Arbitrary" and "draconian" are much more apt.
