They list compatible phones. Buy one of those. This is the most important paragraph I found in your forum link:
The problem is, publishing to Android won't really be solid for another year. Consumers get locked into 2 year contracts, in the same way I got locked in, and the most common will be the free phones and the cheaper (50$) for the next 2 years. Without a way to dumbdown your app, or modify the published one within Eclipse to work for ARMv6, that is potentially a GIANT chunk of current market share which will be LOST to a Unity>Android developer. The market has a ton of very competent devices out there, but Unity is not doing what they need to do to be compatible with what is out there NOW. As much as a developer may want to tease over the specs to find 'Samsung Galaxy S' is a compatible model, the general public does *not* see any clear differentiation or tiers. They just see that your game sucks because it won't run while Angry Birds does. That, and Unity has no "try ON THE PHONE before you buy" plan to get into Unity development. You might go with the trial on your desktop, but that doesn't really tell you whether your idea will work well on the Android platform. If you had to buy Eclipse and the Android SDK just to load an app on your own phone, we wouldn't have come so far so fast. If the price of those tools was as high as Unity, come on now.
