@Kaiser-Machead: Unfortunately those moments occur so infrequently now that they need to be accompanied with a press release when they do, to let people know.
looks like jack is stuck w/ the sunday morning giz shift. Poor jack, now would be a good time for snow removal gadget stories.
Cue local home depot and no shovels/salt/snowblowers shot. I think cnn is still using a shot from our last big storm in 2005/06
i believe congress should not take a x-mas break and attend to things of importance! a new law should be brought in front of both the house and the senate and passed immediately. any and all staff of a tech blog should have the free will to buy non-apple products if they so choose to! Im tired of tech blog writers being forced to buy, unwillingly, apple products and being forced to like them for fear of retribution or loss of hipster status. like the whistle blower laws enacted beforehand, this new law should be called the ringtone raid, and allow minorities alike (google, etc.) to break into the hipster empire w/ programs such as affirmative action for smartphones, only on a more longterm and intimate basis. Furthermore, there will be no tolerance for backlash from those that choose to sit on steve jobs' cock and pedal his balls.
Virtually none of the companies on your list of options is even available in Japan. I use a Toshiba phone (when I first came to Japan, I was surprised to learn that they made phones).
@redman042: The only rumors that held up to any scrutiny that would count as "game-changing" involved pricing, and we have yet to hear about that.
If Google offers it at around $200 without a contract, that could spark some interest in folks not having a contract (which would shake up the industry). It's not a terribly implausible plan since T-Mobile, Google's go-to partner for their Android test runs, just started hyping their Even More Plus plans that are slightly cheaper if you buy the phone up front and then you have no contract.
And, I suppose there's nothing saying an AT&T (or other carriers) version isn't coming. But the FCC filing for this phone didn't indicate anything but T-Mo.

We'll see, I guess.
