If some of my 'needs' are being able to know that I can get cables from anyone, know that my phone will be developed and sold for more than 3 months, or not having to worry about will it sync with my computer (even to some extent just knowing really what the limits are), it's easier to make a choice besides other than just 'screen size'.

Actually, pretty much all Android phones use the same cable - a micro USB, found on cameras, hard drives, non-Android phones, garage sales, etc. And if you lose it or magically can't find anyone who has an extra few lying around, you can buy another one for less than $3. Try doing that with those ridiculously overpriced Apple cords (before the EU made them illegal, that is).

You mean the ridiculously overpriced $4 cords from monoprice?

Complaining about the Apple USB cable is just not a very valid complaint. Micro-usb is nice and all, but with how many iPods, iPhones, etc... that have sold you're just as likely to find a person with a iPod cable lying around as you are a micro-usb one. Heck, my car stereo will charge my iPods through the dock connector, and came with the cable to do so.
