1. The OS upgrades are put out based on who backs your hardware. Example: HTC Sense UI will never be officially put out on a Google Experience device like the G1 or MT3G. However, there are plenty custom ROM mods out there that work, like Cyanogenmod *www.cyanogenmod.com*.
2. There is no real difference because the OS is open source you can root any unit, and unlocking a unit is done by the carrier. 3. Finally news on new devices is not something you will find from just one score. The best thing to do is follow a few communities. I like Phonescoop.com and for my reviews mobilitytoday.com. Both sites are very fair and honest with reviews and phonescoop seems to have decent information about up and coming *soon to be released* units. But the rumors are not always right example: Touch HD2 was reported on several sites as being released with Android and HTC decided to release the unit as a WinMo device, instead.
