1 and 3 are much too retro looking, 3 looks like it came right off the original BSG, but I guess there'd be a market for something like that.
Personally, HTC seems to have done the best so far, and since the dev unit is HTC that's probably where I am going.
Nix on the Verizon though, even if I could get it here I wouldn't want some company's stamp on my phone (yes I did the sugar cube thing on my last one).
