The google phone is 100% true as I had it in my hands the other day. At the time I didnt know what it was as my friend at google just showed it to me fast. Its a beauty too... As for free data I dont know. They didnt have a SIM card in it yet and it was somehow receiving e-mail. I dont think there was free wifi either. I guess we'll find out in time.

Top news reporting companies such as CNN & ABC have been reporting about it. And Google already trademarked the Nexus One name. so this blogger is just completely uninformed, and most likely an IPhone fanboy.

Currently it is 'expected' that the phone will cost $200 from Google and get your voice/data plan thru TMob. Is this "The Google Phone"? Nope, and as you might recall it hasn't been confirmed by Google that is what Nexus One is. Anyone tried calling up Larry Page and asking him? But with the prior expectations of 'something in VOIP' ... then that is what I expect WILL be THE Google Phone, when you see the VOIP Icon. This is Nexus One... don't shoot till you see the VOIP in their eyes!

But I think Murtazin is right once again. The rumor, this could be the Google Phone helps Apple right now! I bought a Milestone/Droid three weeks ago and even though I am very happy with this phone (in fact, it's just awesome!), I felt sorry since the first pictures came out. That's, and I think everyone of you understands, how much a real google phone attracts me. So I guess many people are shying away from buying the droid/Milestone right now, in the hope to get a "superior" smartphone, the "google phone" in no time. Now guess what happens if it tends to be there is no such thing, the nexus one is just another android phone. Many would be hugely disappointed, maybe even shy away from Android an go back or move towards Apple again, where everyone knows, what he gets. If, and even though I believe Murtazin I wouldn't bet money on it, this is the google phone (with that I mean unlocked, to be bought at a very cheap price), on the other hand, Motorola, HTC, Samsung LG and Acer would really look bad... The phone will come, the pictures don’t lie.

The phone is of course real.. but the likelyhood of it being a Google phone seem slim, there is no Google branding, there is nothing Google special.. it will very well be an HTC branded phone on T-Mobile and the next Google dev phone. Some of the rumors before "REAL ANDROID" - Basically the rumor was that this runs the first full Android and ones prior were basically "baby" Android.. laughable and of course false. "VOIP Only" - The fact that VOIP hardly works over 3G never mind edge makes this a pretty bad rumor.. then think about any wireless provider. AT&T is not going to let a data hog on their network without getting revenue from voice.. T-Mobile may but their 3G network is too small to do this well. This is shaping up to be a nice phone but game changer and is a pretty big stretch. I personally can't understand what Google would have to benefit from making any kind of Google Phone move because it would just overshadow other Android phones and really defeat the point of Android.. people like Motorola, HTC, and others will not be happy if their sales are dropping because of a Google phone.. support might drop off and they could very well be handing Windows Mobile an opening it needs.. so Google would be almost fighting Apple if that happened.. not a good situation to be in.

Google wants variety of hardware, but with Android OS inside and for the OHA members that make the phones that's a winner deal too.

The idea that the Nexus One was the cirrent dev phone and soon to represent the current flagship hardware is a given. We've seen specs for the Bravo and seen pics of that and the Passion for a while now. It was always just a matter of when. The less likely (but more interesting) parts about a new sales model could very much just be rumors. Either way it doesn't really bother me. I'm glad to see Android moving along and carriers talking about releasing this new hardware and software within the first half of 2010. This is getting closer to what I had hoped for in Android and will probably be the point where I finally leave Palm and Windows Mobile for Android. Anything else will just be a pleasant surprise as far as I'm concerned. Not surprised.
