I personally don't think the people complaining about Android being open have merit, just as I don't think the people saying "Android is soo open" have merit either.
It's a carrier controlled OS which just has fewer regulations on it's appstore, however doesn't do centralized OS updates making development more expensive. I view it as a much more mixed bag than either "side" puts it.
On the true openness spectrum I rate it:
WinMo6/Android/WinMo7/Apple/BREW (Can't speak to Blackberry, haven't touched it).
