As a sidebar, my take on Android is this: I like,it as a secondary OS for my needs -Windows 8/WP8 is the best fit. There are still some Google services I use, and rather just access them on Android. I like the Nexus line, and of the OEM skins, I like what Sony and Moto are doing. I've always wanted one of the new Sony devices because I like where they are going with their design and skin. As subjective as design is, it is Sony, Apple and Nokia who are really stellar in that area. HTC and Moto are just a step below because, but they are still good at that.
The only Android devices I'd own are either a Nexus, Sony and Moto...in that order.
