OOOOH!!! So awesome. IF this info is accurate, do you think Google is leaking details to steal some of the iPhone’s thunder?
I predict it’s not going to be a really great phone, but it will be affordable, and it will get almost all of its traction from the Google brand.
p.s. thanks!

Exciting stuff. I was holding out for an iPhone, but if more details of this gPhone leak out, I might hold out a bit longer …

Loren,
What do you think of it? Will you be getting a Google phone?

David, I’m locked into my Motorola Q for the next 18 months, so I doubt it…
But once my contract is over and if Google Phone is still on the market, perhaps.
