It definitely makes sense for the carriers to standardize. The v600 was the last hack phone ... I mean dumb phone ... I mean "feature phone" that I owned. I vow to never go back. Only smartphones from here on out, regardless of what OS it is.
This could be good for the platform builders like Symbian and Windows Mobile. This will almost force OEMs to pick a standard platform rather than hacking ... uh writing their own.
I don't think carriers can ignore windows mobile, and I'm sure they don't want MS to feel like they need to go around them.
