Some would argue that those UI/UX innovations were piggy-backed from Apple's products. Not saying that it's still not innovation but I'm sure they got the inspiration from somewhere...
Any fan of Samsung Products[SIII and Note2] will disagree with you today.
Samsung makes beautiful products today at the Higher-end;with much higher degrees of Innovation,Creativity and much-much better UI/UX experience than Apple today.
Sounds scary to most Apple fans(I agree) but that's how it is today.
Apple has simply gotten complacent on their early success and I fully expect Samsung and a revitalized Nokia and RIM to eat their Lunch.
Well, not knowing anything else, users might get used to old motorola phones but when compared to other smartphones... I'm sure most people will say Apple's UX is one of the best.
If Windows OS is going to be No. 2 in the smartphone market as is being projected, the product is getting a rather late start. I don't think it will happen despite Nokia's efforts to champion the operating system. Samsung is also supporting other operating systems too and this could eat into future Windows share.
The strategy is to swamp the market to pull the customer over to your side and perplex the competition. It's working for Samsung now but as you noted this sword can cut both ways.
Matteo, The answer is simple. The OEMs are playing for volume. The shipment of smartphones keeps surging and it's the new "PC" of the electronics world. If you aren't a player here perhaps nobody would even know you are around.

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
While no one really can accurately predict the future, we can take guidance from another Drucker saying which is the best way to predict the future is to create it.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee. It's one who understands, finance, marketing, economics, is savvy with technology, graceful with relationships and can think analytically.
Where are these people? Are universities properly preparing the next generation supply chain professionals? How do train your existing workforce for these new, demanding positions?
Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
