Google handing out the Google phone to employees, will launch in January 2010?

Would someone please ban “Wendys Spicy Chicken.” Every post that comes up about a phone here he bad mouths it, even if they are AT&T. If it’s anything other than AT&T he bad mouths it and everyone floods it with a completely different topic and becomes a network war forum. Please get rid of him. Track his IP and get rid of him ’cause I know anyone can use his name and do the same.

If they’re selling it directly, I wonder if I can use it as a Wifi phone…that would be absolutely awesome.

As far as I can tell it looks like no one knows what bands this will run on. And who’s to say that this can’t run on all bands?

why does it have to a high res screen. I have a week to return my droid or stayed chained to vzw for two years. decisions, decisions. if the screen on the google phone were not as high res as droid I’d totally stay content with the droid. but if it’s comparable I might be drifting for a while. ugh…

I read somewhere that its gonna be sold unlocked wit both at&t 3G and Tmobile 3.6G ( tmobiles 3g is gonna crush the comp soon) and that there is no cdma version. Anybody who wants this phone better sign with Tmobile, pretty soon HSPA+ is coming in mid 2010 and theres gonna be very little congestion on the aws side.

No pictures, no news.

Mr. Queroz VP-Product manager of Google surely know how to keep the excitement of people. Yes they confirmed that the conceptual phone is for real, but they didn’t open up much of the details. See the dog-fooding statement: http://bit.ly/google-phone-finally-confirmed

Google is moving down in the stack to challenge B2C opponents with an open architecture and new sets of standards. In creating a post-revenue business model, Google can only manage success if consumers accept a co-branding and outsourced manufactured device … NQ Logic recommends reading about the rest of the new Google’s mobile strategy at http://www.nqlogic.com

Awesome news! However, I’m a little stumped! Not bout the phone or the news, but how everything to do with AT&T is disliked! Every single comment, that’s a lil nuts! Seriously, AT&T has one of the best line up’s of devices, and to be honest the service is noth so bad! Come on, out of GSM providers here in NYC, they are the best. And VZW, yes they are good! But way way over priced, and just so you all now, I’ve had both, vzw drops calls here and there also, and truthfully AT&T sounds clearer while on the phone. Just my 2 Cents!

i can tell things are gonna look REALLY nice for T-Mobile come 2010. I hope they get exclusively get a real high-end Android device too.

NO pictures? This never happened.

So it won’t be for Verizon?

Hey ya can say all ya want about networks but honstly vzw sux with the prices and plans at&t does to but yo I give vzw the guts to start telling the truth about at&t. And the IPHONE SUX AS SO DOES AT&T. O yea iam on tmobile and never had a droped called and there 3g is perfect where iam at. So hey at the end of this year when tmobile flips the switch for hspa 7.2 lmao who has the fastest data network now and then hspa 21. O and I can talk and surf the web at the same time doing so right now on a g1 so ha we can do that 2. At&t what a network joke. Tmobile half the price of at&t and vzw true. And soon faster network then anyone else.

LMFAO at the guy claiming to be able to TALK and BROWSE THE NET on his CDMA ‘SHOLES’

Everyone knows you can’t do simultanous Voice and Data on CDMA. And you can’t do it on GSM 2G neither. Only on HSPA 3G.

Time to update the post. Engadget has pics of the Nexus, which looks just like the pics of the Passion that were leaked in the earlier months.

Fanboyz to the left, Fanboyz to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you…

just for the record, i have tried a whole bunch of them: verizon, att, cingular (before returning to att), sprint. and personally, i feel that att is the best. granted they dont have the extensive coverage that verizon does, but they do cover a lot.
i personally like att because they are gsm and i can buy unlock cell phones from overseas, they likes of which wont be hitting verizon anytime soon.

right now i have the samsung b5702 which uses 2 sim cards SIMULTANEOUSLY. it is great to not have to carry 2 phones around and its quad band. im also looking into either getting the lg arena (US version) or the nokia n86 (US version), both of which have become available now.

too bad for all u verizon fans.

i got vzw and think their coverage is great, service is bomb, but lack of interest in ground breaking devices & networks is absolutely ridiculous. you skim us on the iphone, now the google phone. you use a network that only works in the US and charge us out the arse. i hate you big red more and more every year!!

i bet the ceo likes the smell of his own farts- prick. i say we boycott vzw, maybe it’ll help the board get their heads out their asses. i’m cuttin down your cell phone towers you sob’s- they don’t look anything like real trees you #&$*%&*#(@*s!!!

I want to test a google phone!

Google is looking like the Microsoft of old, more and more. They seem to be acting like they can put out anything and people will flock to it in droves.

Why would people buy a phone for a boatload of money (when compared to subsidized phones) when HTC will release a subsidized phone within a year that makes the Google phone’s specs look timid.

I’d place good money that the sales of the Google phone won’t rival any model smart phone on the market…Just ask Nokia how well unlocked phones sell (they just closed their stores, so that should show how well unlocked phones do in the USA).

did he really just say the Droid has a simcard? For future idiots of america a MicroSD card and a SIM card are not the same thing…and yes…I am a Verizon customer. I just don’t support pure outspoken stupidity…that is all.

Talk & surf at the same time, so what!. Who care? thats not a big deal you meat. what matters is coverage!!!!

I don’t understand why iphone commercials say they’re the only phone with the talk and browse simultaneously feature.. i do that on my sholes regularly.. Also sholes has sim card.. Annnndddd finally here in chicago Verizon and sprint for the most part have service in a bomb shelter with concrete walls…ATT T-Mobile good luck ever getting a single bar..
Yes I still refer to droid as sholes

Look at att’s coverage map…they are far superior to any provider in New York…However that’s bout the only place..I get why you like it so much though any New Yorker should have ATT

Could said shit network be… hmmm. ATT?

Wow, I think you might be slinging the term fanboy at everyone but yourself, and this phone is going to T-Mo so eat your words. I am on Verizon and they have made great strides and finally put people(AT&T) in there place, last that is.

Hey Mitch: I’m sure you enjoy your Verizon network, but come on be real. Neither the AT&T or T-Mobile suck everywhere as you claim.

I used to drink the same Kool-Aid you do as I used to work for Verizon, but I can happily say that the T-Mobile USA network works great in all the places I need it; not in the places I never intend to go to. I’m okay with that. I have a fantastic rate plan with no contract and no $350 ETF.

So please go enjoy your Droid, your network and expensive monthly recurring charges and let the rest of us talk about this potentially ground breaking device for use on our respective carriers.

Stop threadcrapping in a discussion that has no bearing on your CDMA network. If you want to bitch, sign up for a carrier compatible with this device then let us know what you really think.

I walked into the AT&T store while my wife shopped and asked the sales manager if he had any Android phones.. He looked bummed, shook his head and said “NO”, (as if 500 other people asked him this same question).. I then asked when he would be getting any Android phone he said “Probably Never”… I said OK and left.. Take that for what it is worth..

Of course it’s a big deal. How am I supposed to talk to my mom and look up kiddy porn at the same time on Verizon? You just got owned. Wait…

And….obviously your network doesn’t allow that. C’mon stop pretending that your actually able to do that on AT&T’s shitty network your can barely make a call let alone get data to.

no it doesn’t have a SIM card, you probably don’t even have it. just admit it, you suck at life

No you don’t. No it doesn’t.

I’m convinced this site is paid by verizon to some extent.
