Google Is Paying Carriers and Phone Makers to Adopt Android

Apple has nothing to do with it. But you can buy if you're willing to spend, Unbranded backflips, or like me, and get a Nexus One. And yeah its a more expensive option.

AT&T and Apple are in bed together and AT&T can't afford to do anything to piss Apple off right now honestly. Apple is ruthless. There can't be a better explanation unless AT&T is claiming that it's "protecting" it's users which I feel is complete and utter B.S.

Hmmm I guess it is good that people have that option to get an unlocked phone, albeit expensive but that is the beauty of WCDMA/GSM isn't it? I can't see myself getting a Wimax phone when the rest of the world will be using LTE. Wider selection of phones, unlocking, etc.
