Form factor is only one problem. At work I've seen a couple not yet released Android phones, and each OEM feels the need to customize Android itself. One even modified the maps API to be incompatible with the G1/myTouch. Others replace all the built in UI controls.
I'd like to think that users and carriers were smart enough to realize this is bad, but I've seen this before: Android, meet J2ME. You share more in common than you know.
