This is embarrassing, but understandable. The G1′s email support is so atrocious, who the hell would rely on using that device as a business user?

Case in point:

Something over looked here is the fact that the man has a Blackberry with a GOOGLE sticker on it, granted its been mentioned in the articles, ive been reading into this for a few days now, i mean seriously WHY does the google CEO have a blackberry with the Google logo on it, what makes this blackberry so special that it gets a logo, i mean aside from googles ceo owning it and all why would he find it necessary to throw that logo on it, i think it could be nothing, or maybe huge

which brings me to my next theory, the android platform is extremely flexible, thats what it was made to be, whose to say its NOT an android phone that was once a blackberry hmmmmmm…..

c’mon it’s a no brainer.

a crackberry can make wifi calls a g-1 can’t, yet.

how about throwing that in the new bagadonuts guys?

why burn cellphone minutes when you can use a wifi network at the office?

Well one of the issues is that the only US Android device available when this pic was taken was the G1. Now maybe Mr. Schmidt is not a T-Mobile user. Sure he could have an unlocked Android phone but maybe he is a Sprint or Verizon customer in which case there is no Android phone option at this point. My guess is that as CEO, he has multiple phones that he uses regularly.

I would agree with @Jonathan Lozinski. Why can’t Google be running Google Apps for Business internally or even Zimbra for that matter if Google Apps lacks some features they need.
I have migrated several companies from Exchange to Zimbra and all have been so pleased with the result and added functionality that they would never consider Exchange again. I don’t see why Google would still be trapped with Exchange!

OK…so this might sound silly but, I have seen Android put on a windows mobile phone and of course put on Android phones…whose to say that it isn’t a blackberry shell running Donut?

Really, have you got nothing better to do than report this non story? Did anyone ask him why he was using the phone? Was he testing the camera functionality as a side by side with the Hero?

If there’s nothing to say, say nothing!

Why are people expecting a google exec to need exchange? Surely Google calendar and email are going to be used company wide.

Why probaby not a Pre Chunky? I would imagine he would have a Pre as it more then any other phone will do the things a BB will.I myself am waiting for the Touch Pro 2 as I want a big screen and not much of a gooley or apples fanboy.

i bet he has an Android phone,iphone,windows mobile phone,perhaps not a pre. He’s free to have any phone he desires. They all use google products don’t they?

Sorry, but my Android doesn’t support connections to my Microsoft Exchange server nor does it connect with WPA2-Enterprise WiFi connections. Two things that I consider essential in my business environment. If I needed both of those things as often as Mr. Schmidt prob does, then I’d prob have a BB as well. So, I can understand why one of his phones is a BB. And I agree with Andrex. I would prob frown upon it if it was an iPhone.

Maybe he has Android installed on the curve…
