Android will be always pre-released to MOT first. Building hardware for Android will be stepchild of Google. I don't think long term relationship with Andriod will be anything reliable for Samsung, HTC or Nokia. At least Microsoft has not shown intention to build a phone yet.
I don't think Google cares about Moto that much. They bought Moto for the patents.

Why not just license with MOT? Or, why not disband MOT afterwards to avoid sinking money into the pit.

License patent from MOT, google will gain the same protection with much less cost. MOT is only downsizing, shrink back into Chicago.

There is no defense against you infringing other AAPL's patent, only protects GOOG from using MOT patent. GOOG owning the patents can not stop AAPL to sue any android manufactures, other than protecting themselves from harassment from AAPL given APPL could be itself stealing anyway. BTW, isn't this another reason that staying android camp is doomed to be stepchild? SAMSUNG can second this dearly.

license Yes, that's the key reason that Google bought MOT, nothing else. Google knows that MOT handset has no advantage than Samsung because Samsung has large amount of component business, which gives Samsung cost advantage. Back to Nokia. It's big mistake that Nokia only go with MS. If Nokia also makes Android phones, leverage its hardware design and Map, closely working with Samsung or even LG, it could be easily be No 2 Android phone maker. The Nokia story told us that most of CEOs don't have more business sense than regular educated people.
