It uses a Nokia-specific OS, you can't install Android on it.

You sure, you can load Android on 1st generation iPhones now.

Yes, I saw that, but that would involve serious modding. Besides, the iPhone has beefier hardware and already has a Unix based OS.

Only phones that come with Android. It's not like a computer where you can install Android, Windows Mobile, iPhone OS, etc. on any phone you want, the iPhone running Android is the exception.

Not always true... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Android_devices#Unofficial_and_community_ports

It takes a bit of hacking to get Android onto phones that don't come with it, but it's been done quite a bit more than you say. Remember, the whole idea of Android is that it's an open OS you can mod and hack to your heart's content.
