Why do you think, it should be able to tear down walled gardens? Over here in Europe, mobile Internet seemed quite open to me - rather the applications and users were lacking - but users were free to go wherever they wished.
IMHO the G1 is like the iPhone, it comes bundled with a powerful platform, but is strongly focussed on its vendors’ products (where is Exchange on Android or alternative navigation on the iPhone…). I’d believe any Windows mobile based handset to be more extensible than these devices, when it comes to the choice of applications etc.
In my view, iPhone and G1 are changing behaviour via the bundled-contracts, but isn’t this just an upstream shift of the profits

The mobile web is still surrounded by walls and carriers, device manufacturers, browser companies and platforms still try to push their own content over giving full access to a free mobile low cost web.
However..we are moving in the right direction.
