Well there are a lot more phones to choose from for starters. Oh and you don’t have to be on AT & T’s service.

It’s inevitable that Google will win it’s smartphone war against Apple. Phone manufaturers like free and Android is free.

Yup.
Phone makers don't have to spend money developing their own OS either, which cuts down on their costs. Google was smart on making Android free, so they can make money off Google mobile web instead. Microsoft would be wise to make Window Phone 7 free as well (and make money off mobile Bing) or they'll be history in the smart phone business.

If Android is free, how does Google make any money with it?
