I am all for Devs getting access to the hardware and I don't think that it should be selected regions either, but I also don't think Google, HTC and T-Mobile "owe" us free devices. I think if Devs could buy subsidized developer hardware before it is released publicly, it would greatly increase the quality of software.
Having said that, a lot of software will be OSS and OSS Developers have battled without such courtesies for many years.... so hardware is a bonus. I know many devs that building software for iPhone, GP2X and Xbox without even having access to the device. All testing had to be done through a select group of testers before being released.
