The Google Phone

[shockym]

I was watching something last night that recorded and out of no where (thanks to DVR record and playback) I caught a commercial (a very quick one at that) about the phone. Checked out some random reviews on it that just happened to show up today, and it looks a little interesting. Not sure about that keyboard though, thoughts?

Just read this related article. I think I'll sit back and wait a few months. Pricing should drop with all the new models projected to be released next year.

Google is taking over the world... Is it strange that I have no objections?

I am kind of waiting to see how the prices are going to work as well, but still, I want to know ASAP what we are looking at. At least to start out with price wise that is. I am still reading things all over the net, but some sites seem iffy with their reviews.

I got to play with one yesterday actually. It's a pretty nice phone, but without a flip keyboard I don't believe I'd go the route (at least not at the moment). Syncs easy with outlook, excel, word etc. Has multiple browser window capabilities - a must in my world. Has the detection for vertical versus horizontal, and uses that whole FLIP thing where you drag your finger from side to side to go through screens.

Pretty clear on voice calls - didn't try the speaker. Not sure about battery life yet - but will know more on that in two or three days.

VERY slim phone though. Personally I like to know I"m holding the phone, or that it's in my pocket, but with it so thin and light, people are liable to forget if they have it on their person or not
