Developers may be attracted to the G2 for other reasons too - e.g. a
phone that can be used for demonstrations to investors and customers.

Given the amount of cross-border activity within Europe (it is only a
2 hour train ride from London to Paris, more than 20 countries can be
reached within 1-3 hours flying), the network locked G1 and G2 would
be really expensive to operate, particularly for data.  Someone doing
product marketing (e.g. demonstrating a corporate app running on
Android) across different countries would probably want the dev phone
and a SIM card for each country they visit.

What is the real challenge in supporting the development devices?  How
much support is the manufacturer able to provide, particularly with
hardware issues?  Surely a developer isn't going to be hassling Google
or HTC with simple questions like `what is a SIM card?'
