The support/phone page is not a support/placeholder. Yet “in the packaging there’s a quick start guide which points users to a “questions” page at google.com/phone/support” (Source: Engadget)

Gizmodo fans like to play with pretty toys but I don’t think they are strong in the critical analysis department.

archie: all that stuff is software that can be for any android phone.

@ari-free

Interesting. So the phone support page is meaningless, as you can just type in any extension and get a placeholder.

Thanks for pointing this out, ari-free. I wonder if Gizmodo figured this out!

From what i this phone looks like the passion/bravo so I figure the specs for this phone to be the same. For this phone to be up iphone, droid, palm pre, and even motor cliq it need to add better. social networking then all these phones, better syncing, a better web browser, and the one thing no other really has yet and thats flash player. If it can do all that I would have no problem switching to this phone( no matter what the price range. Hope it really is 200 though)

RE: http://www.google.com/support/phone
See: http://www.google.com/support/rumor

That page means nothing.

Maybe everyone’s seen this (ala Gizmodo) but maybe one or two have not:

http://www.google.com/support/phone

That’s a placeholder page in Google help. Note the extension.

Hmm. I wonder what they plan to use this page for?

geeky as it may be, I’m trying to write a Twas the night before neXus. So far, that’s all I have.

‘Twas the night before neXus, when all through the house

Not a gadget was stirring, not even a mouse;

The cords were plugged in the outlet with care,

In hopes that neXus ONE soon would be there;

The iPhones were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of apple-cores danced in their heads;

Fair enough. Shouldn’t be too long now before we find out what the real deal is.

I’m just really skeptical that t-mobile can really provide the network to pull this off.

Clearly, Google is not MAKING the phone. But a lot of the evidence is there that points to this having been planned, for some time, by both T-Mobile and Google. Project Dark, Google Voice, Gizmo5, exclusive T-Mobile USA bands, RAPID expansion and upgrade of the T-Mobile data network, etc. Otherwise, why all the secrecy surrounding this particular device? I am not saying I’m right, I am just putting the pieces together and explaining what seems likely to me.
