I just gave Netflix a call to see what they'd say, not expecting to find out anything knew from what I've read here.
The line I got was that the Android phone deployments were slow because of Security reasons involving the Movie Studios (etc) considering Android is an open platform (blah blah). I was then told that they do have support for 6 androids out and will be releasing apps for 2 phones a month. And, that the 2 phones per month pace should pick up quickly. I didn't hear anything about the slow releases being related to anything on the phone manufacture sides (who knows).
Hopefully the wait isn't too long.
