It's official Eric Schmidt just stated that gingerbread will come on an upcoming device that is still unannounced. He even used it and everything. As for the "quality" debate, I still think Samsung has the best quality and hardware. HTC only uses Qualcomm processors, which are still great, but the dual cores don't even go up to par with the Hummingbird processors. Any way, Samsung may use plastic but the devices are built extremely solid, the glossy feel is better on your hands than cold aluminum(coming from me at least, I hate my sweaty palm brushing against aluminum). Also, we are not even sure if the device is even made of plastic, it's just pure speculation. The Nexus one looks like it is made of aluminum, when it isn't.
