    Google Phone









    Features and initial thoughts for the phone are reported to be as follows:

    It’s extremely thin
    It’s much nicer looking in person than in pictures
    There’s a 4 GB micro-SD card installed
    The battery capacity is 1400 mAh
    The screen appears to be OLED (same size/resolution as the Motorola Droid)
    3G works on T-Mobile USA
    I can confirm that there’s no 3G on AT&T (EGDE only)
    It’s definitely unlocked
    It’s super snappy! Faster than the Droid…
    There’s no multitouch support in the browser or in Google Maps
    There’s no dedicated camera key, but it’s the same camera interface as the Droid
    The trackball can be used to focus (like on other HTC devices)
    Low-light performance is decent, but the flash is weak
    Calls are routed the normal way, not using data (VoIP), and sound fine
    The home screen is divided into 5 panes (like the Sense interface on the HTC Hero)
    It’s using a micro-USB connector for data/power
    There are some gold contacts at the bottom edge, for a dock perhaps?
    Did I mention it’s fast?

    I must admit, these pictures are the first to truly convince me that Google might actually be selling their own branded phones. Until now I was in denial, possibly also a little shock, primarily because I still think this is a very wrong mo

    How much is the phone?

    I'm still loving the iphone... if this one is lighter than I may budge.

          I wished! Still on the fence between the iPhone or a Google Phone but I'll probably lean towards the iPhone.

            The iphone is really hard to beat... I'm surprised when people pick another phone that's in the same price range.

                looks pretty similar to my HTC Hero, actually (which stands to reason). Will be curious to see how it compares.

                      Exactly. I would love to have an iphone, but I refuse to have AT&T service.

                          - Price: $530 unsubsidized and unlocked (ouch!), $180 subsidized on the T-Mobile network with a 2 year contract.
                          - Rate Plan: $79.99 per month on T-Mobile, which includes unlimited texting/MMS and web data, along with 500 minutes. This seems to be the only plan available, even if you’re already on another plan with T-Mobile
                          - Purchasing: You can buy up to five Nexus One phones per Google account.
                          - Cancellation: If you cancel within 120 days, you have to pay the subsidy difference ($350) or return the phone to Google.

                              fuck t-mobile. Been a customer since 2004, and I'm just about done with them. I've loved my G1 since last year but I thinking of switching to Verizon (apparently they have a map for that). lol
