True. I have used nearly every mobile OS on the market. I have never been a fan of the the iOS as I found it restrictive, either Apple's way or the highway. Honestly though, it is a good product but when you have customers coming in asking for it and they only want it because their friends said they HAVE to have it, it's rather annoying. Also being forced to use Itunes to update or even activate your phone is really annoying to me.

Android I found much more open, I could add/remove what I wanted but it is not perfect and still needs some tweaks. Also most of my apps are free.

Blackberry's I have never had an issue with but they were always geared toward business and that's fine because they work great for businesses. Also, like Apple you have to use another proprietary software to update or make changes to your phone. Which I really do not like.

Windows phones, those are a sticky subject. I know a few people who swear by them but I know far more who swear at them. I have not really seen one Windows phone that was really a 'hit'. Yet again, just like Apple and Blackberry, you have to use a proprietary software to do updates or changes to your phone (Zune).

So, for me, Android seems the way to go. No major issues (bugs yes, but nothing that makes or break the device). Though some Android manufacturers are insanely slow at getting updates out, which I DO find rather annoying. Samsung is one of the tops on my list for this. They still won't put out Gingerbread for my Charge but almost every single Samsung phone since the Charge has gingerbread.

So alas, I am forced to rely on custom roms or leaked builds to get my gingerfix until Samsung actually does put out an update for it.

Every mobile OS has it's ups and downs, it just comes down to what is best for you. In the end, that is all that really matters.
