Now that Google has more or less told the owners of the Nexus One to go pound sand on a phone THEY made, and isn't even a year old yet what does that say about them as a company? I was seriously planning on getting the Sprint EVO until reading this, now I'm not so sure. I know that HTC is making this version and not Google, I know that it's a CDMA/WiMAX chipset and not GSM but it's the business practices I'm questioning. It's bad enough that I'm still trying to understand what the implications of needing to be logged into Google just to use most of the feature sets on the phone but this also is bothering me. If Google isn't going to stand behind their hardware product, what happens when they say an exploit or software flaw isn't fixable? Is Android something we should wait some more to mature before jumping into?

Also feel free to point out if I misunderstand what just happened here and I'm way off key, this is just what I took as the basis of the news I just heard.

Thoughts, opinions??
