For Carriers
Same as for manufacturers, plus it's easy to "brand" the user experience (some OEMs are doing this, but more carriers). Try to make WinMo look like something other than WinMo!
For Developers
Drop-dead simple development, great features, anticipated growth of the user base.
@Klaymen: waiting for a Galaxy is time well spent, IMO :-)
