sorry I misunderstood this. well my choice would be c) I guess. Keep in mind
that the 5 machines there are only representative for many more. I have patches
pending that add support for htc nike (similar to kaiser) and sony ericsson
xperia x1 is to be supported soon. t-mobile g1 can be built from the
htc-msm-2.6.25 branch.
there are plenty of other machines on the market already and more to come.
