Did Apple give every app developer a free or otherwise special device? No. Is Symbian giving free (or selling) new devices to developers who can't buy them officially? No. Is Sun giving free (or selling) J2ME enabled devices to developers who can't buy them officialy? No. The same goes for Windows/Brew/BlackBerry etc etc devices.
Sorry but you can't expect that an OS developer (like Google) is selling (or giving away for free) devices (that a completely unrelated company produces(HTC) and a third unrelated company sells (T-Mobile)) to the developers who want to develop on these platforms.
