I'm no friend of AT&T, and am as disappointed as anyone about the restrictions they've put on all their Android phones to date, but please get your facts straight before launching into a rant. They've only disabled installing non-Market apps using the phone itself; there's nothing stopping you from pushing APKs onto the phone using ADB. And someone's even written a Windows application to do that. For a dev phone, an AT&T 'set is not intrinsically a bad choice. Except, perhaps, on ethical grounds.
