Perhaps, but as someone else noted, preferring something in the hardware range Android supports is a point for Android (when compared with iOS, WP7 is a more complicated question:

I'll also add that preferring Android hardware isn't one thing it can be one or many of all sorts of features:

- Larger screen (or smaller, though this is less common)

- Hardware keyboard (slider or Blackberry/Treo form factor)

- LTE (and faster HSPA+) support

- Removable / upgradeable battery

- Expandable / removable storage

- More flexible ports (e.g. HDMI, USB host support [control your digital camera!], etc.)

- Other niche options (e.g. NFC, gaming controls, stylus support, etc.)

Not to mention the dimensions that the iPhone only caught up on with the 4S like:

- Faster CPUs / more cores

- Higher-resolution camera

And on and on.
