I think you need an Android Dev Phone if you want to legally install
custom images and such. In order to get the phone you first have to
register as an Android Developer. But the devices look pretty crappy
hardware-wise, and you would be buying without a plan so they would be
expensive too. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Dev_Phone)

UMLUG folks,
I am looking to buy an Android smartphone that is fully unlocked (i.e.,
permits installation of a customized OS) and will work in the US and
overseas. I expect to keep the phone for at least 4 years, so I'm
willing to pay more for better or future-proof features. Can anyone
suggest a device they've been happy with or a good place to shop for
such a smartphone?
