Depends on where you come from. - For me, the ideological aspects of free software are what I think is more important than what a device can do or how well it performs on the market.

Google per se is bad. Android is even worse because it abuses free software rather than contributing to it. So no matter how nice the devices may look... I'd rather take Symbian then. It's (not yet) free - at least what's being shipped on current models - but there's no morally bad company behind it and it doesn't abuse the work of others.
